Historical Concepts and Skills
Context and chronology
According to the analysis it has been identified that, old Egyptian civilization went on for over
3000 years and showed an unimaginable measure of progression. It has been identified that,
Egypt is a place where there is cycles and duality both in geography and culture. The geology is
on the whole rough, infertile desert, with the exception of an explosion of green that rides either
side of the Nile as it streams the length of the nation. Furthermore, it has been stated that the
waterway rises up out of far toward the south, somewhere down in Africa and exhausts into the
Mediterranean ocean in the north subsequent to dispersal from a solitary channel into a fan-
formed framework which is mainly termed as a delta (Lloyd, 2014). The impact of this waterway
on Egyptian culture and advancement could not possibly be more significant as it has been
evaluated that exclusive of its quality the human progress would have been altogether unique
along with undoubtedly totally somewhere else. It has been determined that, the Nile gave not
just a steady wellspring of nurturing water but has been stated that it made the land in the country
very fertile which further lead towards growth of this culture in a unique as an well resilient way.
Christianity in Egypt
Christianity is the significant religion stemming from death, life and teaching of Jesus of
Nazareth in the first century CE. It has been determined that, this religion turned out to be the
biggest of the religions in the world and geologically. This religion has a region of,2 billon and
more than believers (Saleh, 2019). The Eastern Orthodox temples, Protestant houses of worship
and the Roman Catholic Church are is its biggest gatherings. It has been identified that, the
Oriental Orthodox places of worship comprise probably the most veteran part of the practice.
However it has been seen that it is out of the contact with from 5th century middle until the late
twentieth century due to an argument about Christology with Eastern Orthodoxy and Western
Christianity.
