Pyramids and pharaohs, mummies and magic, picture writing on papyrus�ancient Egypt had all this, and much more. Rich, powerful, and peace-loving, this North African kingdom was home to a splendid civilization that lasted 3,000 years, from about 3300 bc to 30 bc.
RED LAND, BLACK LAND Ancient Egypt was a vast territory, stretching 700 miles (1,100 kilometers) southward from the Mediterranean Sea. Most of it was hot, dry, and dusty. The Egyptians called it Deshret (red land). But the world�s longest river, the Nile, runs through this desert. Every year, the river flooded the surrounding land. The floods left sticky, smelly mud covering the land along the riverbanks. Egyptians called the riverside area Kemet (black land). This land was very fertile. About 5000 bc, the ancient Egyptians built some of the world�s first farms and villages there.

Alphabet and Pronunciation
The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters, all of which are considered to be consonants. Vowels are designated by diacritic marks above or below the consonants. These short vowels are generally left out of the written language.
The Arabic script is a cursive one, with the letters joined by ligatures, much like cursive in English handwriting. Arabic is written from right to left.
Modern Standard Arabic is generally written without short vowels, although vowels within wofrds are pronounced. Vowels and nunation are added to the ends of words to express a variety of grammatical functions.
