26 Unit 3 The Early History of Egypt Parallel with the ancient beginnings of civilization in Sume-ria, a parallel process was going on in Egypt. It is still a matter of discussion which was the most ancient of these two beginnings, or how far they had a common origin or derived one from the other. The story of the Nile valley from the dawn of its traceable his-tory until the time of Alexander the Great is not very dissimi-lar from that of Babylonia; but while Babylonia lay open on every side to invasion, Egypt was protected by desert to the west and by desert and sea to the east, while to the south she had only negro peoples. Consequently her history is less broken by the in-vasions of strange races than is the history of Assyria and Baby-lon, and until towards the eighth century B. C. when she fell under an Ethiopian dynasty, whenever a conqueror did come into her story, he came in from Asia by way of the Isthmus of Suez. The Stone Age remains in Egypt are of very uncertain date; there are Paleolithic and then Neolithic remains. It is not certain whether the Neolithic pastoral people who left those remains were the direct ancestors of the later Egyptians. In many respects they differed entirely from their successors. They buried their dead, but before they buried them they cut up the bodies and ap-parently ate portions of the flesh. They seem to have done this out of a feeling of reverence for the departed; the dead were «eaten with honour» according to the phrase of Mr. Flinders Petrie. It may have been that the survivors hoped to retain thereby some vestige of the strength and virtue that had died. Traces of similar savage customs have been found in the long barrows that were scattered over western Europe before the spreading of the Aryan peoples, and they have pervaded negro, Africa, where they are only dying out at the present time. About 5000 B. C., or earlier, the traces of these primitive peo-ples cease, and the true Egyptians appear on the scene. The f...
