| Population history of Egypt : ウィキペディア英語版 | Population history of Egypt
The land currently known as Egypt has a long and involved population history. This is partly due to its geographical location at the crossroads of several major cultural areas: the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Sahara and Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition Egypt has experienced several invasions during its long history, including by the Canaanites, the Libyans, the Nubians, the Assyrians, the Kushites, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans and the Arabs. Even the Celts (as Ptolemaic mercenaries) attempted a coup d'état around 259 BC. ==Prehistory== During the Paleolithic, the Nile Valley was inhabited by various hunter gatherer populations. Around 10,000 years ago, the Sahara desert had a wet phase, the Neolithic Subpluvial. People from the surrounding areas moved into the Sahara, and evidence suggests that the populations of the Nile Valley reduced in size.〔(Ancient Egyptian Origins )〕 About 5,000 years ago, the wet phase of the Sahara came to an end. The Saharan populations retreated to the south towards the Sahel, and East towards the Nile Valley. It was these populations, in addition to Neolithic farmers from the Near East, that played a major role in the formation of the Egyptian state as they brought their food crops, sheep, goats and cattle to the Nile Valley.〔〔http://www.comp-archaeology.org/WendorfSAA98.html〕
