Egypt is one of the most fertile areas of Africa, and one of the most fertile of the countries in the world. Because of that, people came to live in Egypt earlier than in most places, probably around 40,000 years ago. At first there were not very many people, but gradually Egypt became more crowded. For a while there seem to have been two kingdoms the upper and lower and people called the ruler of the kingdom the Pharaoh.
