Why do we say that Egyptian civilisation ended in 30 BCE when Cleopatra killed herself and Octavius took control of Egypt ? I don't get it Before that, the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks and Ptolemaic also seized control over the country, why is Roman rule any different ??

Because it wasn't independent you fucking idiot
Justin Ward
neither was it under the the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians and Greeks

It was independent. It wasn't part of a foreign empire but just a foreign dynasty that upheld some traditions of it
Carter Brooks
the last pharaoh was Greek
The Greek Romans saved the Roman Empire from the Latin Romans.
praise the Greeks
Andrew Phillips
Not under assyrians, babylonians or persians

>It was independent. It wasn't part of a foreign empire
it was part of the Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian then Greek empires, so no it wasn't independant
Anthony Thompson
Was talking about the Cleopatra and the Ptolomies only. And Egypt was never under the Babylonian rule

>Having established control over Syria and with vassal kings in offi ce in southern Palestine, Nebuchadrezzar turned to Egypt itself, well aware that previous Egyptian withdrawal from the Levant did not signal an end to Egyptian opposition to Babylonian control of the middle territory. Invading Egypt in 601, Nebuchadrezzar progressed only as far as the fortifications in the easternmost Delta, where Egyptian forces inflicted a debilitating defeat on his army.
>B acked by Delta dynasts opposed to Apries, Amasis displaced Apries as king in 570 and ultimately chased him from Egypt. Hoping to exploit subsequent Egyptian disunity to resolve the ceaseless Babylonian-Egyptian confl ict, Nebuchadrezzar launched a new off ensive against Egypt with Apries, now ready to reprise the client- king role played earlier by Necho I and Psammetichus I, in tow (566). Again, how- ever, Nebuchadrezzar failed (and his would-be client Apries apparently perished in the batt le between Nebuchadrezzar’s and Amasis’ forces). 32 Under Amasis, Egypt’s anti-Babylonian eff orts continued and, if we can trust Diodorus (1.68.6), led fi nally to Egyptian control of Cyprus.
>Egyptian measures proved eff ective. Unlike Assyrians (who initially faced a frag- mented Egypt), the Babylonians were never able to conquer or even enter Egypt proper
Now you will say it
Samuel Hall
Babylonians conquered Egypt

They think she may have been something like 25% from a grandmother (you know when they occasionally didnt inbreed).
Robert Hill
That's like saying Turks conquered Austria (actually more retarded because Turks were more successful before failing).
Nicholas Clark
>to Egypt
Yes, just like the U.S. goes to Cansda and Mexico. I'm sure they'll be happy to know they are a conquered and subjugated people.

Because both alexander and ptolemy paid respects to egyptian culture, creating new gods just to win the support of the cults, they wanted to win the hearts of egyptian people and considered them worth saving, egyptian culture actually strived under the greeks, introducing new theological works, temples, cult synthesis under the ptolemy
under the romans egypt became a province of rome, they were treated as subject of rome, practiced roman cultural things and worshipped jesus, egypt was not a seperate cultural entity during the roman era, it produced roman culture
how can you not tell the difference
Jaxon Russell
this is also why the cleopatra story is so sad, she understood what romans wanted and did everything she tried to save her people, no matter how history has treated her, something tremendous was lost
Dominic Barnes
is there something youfail to understand in the phrase 'at its height' ?
Grayson Hill
I will bump this just to get a few more people to laugh at you

I gave you a map + a wikipedia page
you're the only one here who refuses to face the truth
