The ancient Amrati culture of 
the Nile Valley

Predynastic Egypt, 5000–3100 BC The beginning of the origin of the first living things, the ancient objects made, sculpture, religion, culture in colorful murals, the light on the top of the pyramids, the Nile Delta and the Nile Valley, trade between neighboring lands and including ancient peoples with a unified culture of worship and ritual of Egyptian gods that are the foundation of ancient civilization. The predynastic period of the Neolithic was therefore established in the Nile Valley and the Nile River. The literature of the later Egyptian era was ruled by many gods, demigods, similar to the demigods in the legends of the Egyptian pharaohs. The historical origins There is no clear evidence, no clear evidence, obscured in the cultural chronology.


Archaeological excavations near the southern Egyptian village of Nagada, a necropolis representing the last culture of the Predynastic period. The remains do not appear to be of Egyptian origin, evidence of a “new race”. There is very little information about the history of Egypt before the Old Kingdom, before the reference to Menes, the first pharaoh of the consolidation of several sites before the end of the 19th century, around 2200 BC. Evidence of a Predynastic culture, the skeletons of various social groups and possibly the first necropolis in Egypt, the effort and importance of the tomb and temple structures, the desert settlement pattern at Hieraconpolis, is particularly important for mummification, dating back to around 5,600 years ago, in the Early Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The chronological age of the materials excavated in the archaeological site, pottery, by comparison, is placed in order and the current problem is that there is no exact dating method for this period.

The Amratist culture, also known as Amratis "Nagata", is an archaeological culture of prehistoric Upper Egypt, lasting from approximately 4000 to 3500 BC. The Amratist lineage in Egypt, the earlier evolutionary culture of the well-known Gherzeh buildings, began to appear in this period. The later cultural continuity is not widely used, the pattern of cultural progress at different places of settlement remains unclear. The Badarian culture is found.

Nagada I and Nagada II in different layers may be part of the overall culture difference. The coexistence that allowed development without the threat of war, evolved to another period, about 3400 BC. Of antiquity, boat-shaped palette, carved hippopotamus head, late Nagada I period, clay statues, Egypt, Nagada I period, Lower Egyptian artifacts, pottery, basalt jars, individual Nagada villages with animals buried with the dead, animal symbols among the ancient gods, human amulets and ornaments, and bas-relief art. Pottery decorated with parallel white lines close together began to be produced during this period.

Nagada culture in Upper and Lower Egypt, the period of heating of the metal forming, obsidian and gold, small amounts from Nubia and the mineral, green, dark green with crystals gradually darkening to almost black in transmitted light. An opaque green mineral from 4000 to 3500 BC, malachite, copper carbonate hydride, or stalagmites. Single crystals are rare, but are slender to needle-shaped prisms in deep underground cracks and voids. At groundwater and hydrothermal fluids, they are channels for chemical precipitation.

The combination of evolution with culture and the arrival of new peoples, such as the location of the burial away from the dwellings, the single shallow grave intended for use in the afterlife, the heat and dryness of the climate preserved the grave from “natural mummification”, the body wrapped in a coarse mat, a basket woven from twigs or animal skins placed on the left side with the head facing south to west, on the edge of the desert, an oval in the sand of the grave, marked by a mound of sand or small stones, ornaments, clay figurines, oval-shaped earthenware vases, various types of Nagada period, c. 3800–3500 BC, slate plates and ivory figures, Nagada period amulets of long-standing animal worship from animal cemeteries located near human graves, and dogs or foxes buried wrapped in linen or mats, together with animal figurines placed in human graves during the Egyptian period, c. 5000–c. 3100 BC.
