In this episode, I cover what is known about the pre-history of Egypt up through the Middle Kingdom. Embedded in this, I discuss the factors that led to the settlement of the area, the changing climate, and even touch on their medical knowledge. Next week, I’ll pick up with the collapse of the Middle Kingdom and work through the time just before the birth of Christ. After listening, let me know what you think.

Before beginning the history of the Egyptians, I need to ground their history as found in the Old Testament. Of course, they are mentioned in the Table of Nations, but they also played a part in the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, and so many others. What was their influence, listen and find out. Next week, I’ll provide a summary history of the Egyptians, up through about 50 BC. After listening, let me know what you think.
