An archaeological summary of the Egyptian Neolithic and the archaeological adventure that led to the sensational discovery of Predynastic Egypt.
An archaeological summary of the Egyptian Neolithic and the archaeological adventure that led to the sensational discovery of Predynastic Egypt.
The Pharaonic State lasted with ups and downs for almost three millennia and was characterized by thirty-two successive dynasties, of which the last two followed upon the military conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C..
Its foundations were laid during the Egyptian Predynastic period, which preceded the First Dynasty and coincided with the Naqada Culture.
The latter had a poor start, then underwent a formidable acceleration, finally attaining a very considerable outcome. In the second half of its development path it expanded into the Delta region, first colonizing the local cultures, then superimposing itself onto them.

The homogenization of Lower Egypt with the triumphant culture of Upper Egypt was followed by the unification of the Two Lands.
Thus the archaic Egyptian State was born, originally as a Pharaonic State. "Sovrani predinastici egizi" is an account of this long process.
Written for the lay, educated public, the book is based upon a review of academic publications.
