the early Egyptian mortuary texts
known as the Pyramid Texts, this is
a place where the stars never die
and where there is no death at all”.

April Holloway,
BSc (Psychol),
is
a
writer
and editor at
Ancient-Origins.net, a website
dedicated to exploring and
reconstructing the story of
humanity’s past. April writes
hundreds of articles every year
on topics relating to archaeology, anthropology, human origins, unexplained phenomena,
ancient technology, and myths
and legends from around the
world.
The series of associations between
the complex and structured societies that developed over thousands
of years in the Nubian Desert,
and the great Nile cities of ancient
Egypt, suggests that the rise of the
influential and powerful civilization
of ancient Egypt extends back much
further than initially believed.
