For nearly three millennia(千年), the Egyptian kings ruled one of the ancient worlds richest and most powerful nations. So long w

42、as Egypts history that modern writers measure its time not in years but in dynasties. According to the legend (傳說), a ruler named Menes was the first to unite the lands of northern and southern Egypt, an event that historians date to around 3100 B.C. Menes established the First Dynasty, and this eve

43、nt marks the beginning of the ancient Egyptian kingdom. At about the same time as the unification（統(tǒng)一） of Egypt came important advances in agriculture, metalworking, transportation, and communication in the Nile valley and in the Delta region where the Nile spreads out into several branches before re

44、aching the Mediterranean Sea. During this time, the Egyptians also invented a system of hieroglyphs, or picture symbols to record important events.Menes and the other kings of the First Dynasty ruled during a period of Egyptian history known as the Old Kingdom. At this time, the city of Memphis, jus

45、t south of the Nile Delta, served as the capital of ancient Egypt. As Egypts population increased, the kings ruling Memphis set about conquering（征服） neighboring lands, and as a result the realm(王國) grew wealthier. Menes successor, a king named Aha, invaded（入侵） Nubia, the land lying south of Egypt. A

46、nother First Dynasty king, Den, successfully fought the Bedouin, a people who lived in the deserts lying both to the east and west of the Nile valley. 65.

50、t we were doing a year ago, we might have to say that we could not remember.

Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any

51、 written accounts of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there were not any written records at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a gre

52、at deal about the people who lived in China 4000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them.

53、if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past.
