AI-generated Abstract
This piece outlines recent developments and research in the field of Egyptian archaeology, highlighting upcoming exhibitions and projects that focus on early Egyptian civilization. It outlines significant archaeological findings that provide new insights into the history and cultural developments of the Nile Valley, particularly the impact of climate change on Egypt's prehistory.
Rivers, changeable features of earth surface and in the meantime fixed conspicuous elements of any landscape, have been chiefly chosen by human settlements as natural corridors for their expansion, trade and culture. Nile is a paradigmatic example of such a twofold function of water courses, having created with its peculiar regime of discharge suitable conditions for the development of a great civilization which played a central role in the man history. Significant examples of geo-archaeological researches, conducted for more than 20 years along the Nile valley, will be reported and commented, taking into account their representativeness and distribution in time and space.
