Edit
The Egyptians created a vast empire beginning circa 3150 BCE, and achieved many technological advances in mathematics, medicine, art and architecture. The Egyptians used obsidian blades to perform delicate surgeries. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Forge) The ancient Egyptians were particularly noted for their method of mummifying their dead, and for the elaborate tombs created for their rulers. Many of these tombs were discovered in what became known as the Valley of the Kings. The mysterious pyramids of Egypt were still objects of great interested to temporal scientists of the 31st century. (ENT episode: "Cold Front")
The Kingdom of Egypt was ruled by a monarch called Pharaoh. Ramses the Second was one notable pharaoh who ruled for nearly six decades. (TOS episode: "Patterns of Force")
In the late 23rd century, the USS Enterprise discovered a near duplicate of ancient Egypt on planet Zeta Reticuli II. (TOS comic: "We Are Dying, Egypt, Dying")
TheologyEdit
The Ancient Egyptians were polytheistic, worshipping many gods. These gods, including Thoth, were discovered in the late 24th century to have been alien Beings, who had visited Earth in the earliest days of human civiliation. (NF novels: Being Human, Gods Above)
