How long has civilization flourished in the Nile Valley? Were the area's first inhabitants the ancestors of the pyramid builders? Or was pharaonic culture imported, as some scholars have claimed? This program pursues the answers in an effort to understand the identity of Egypt's original people, exploring archaeological sites that predate the pyramids by thousands of years. Information on several fascinating finds-including multilayered prehistoric rock art on the cliffs of El-Kab, sacred hieroglyphs in the tomb of the pharaoh Unas, and an ancient funerary mask from a dig at Hierakonpolis-strongly suggests a link between Egypt's earliest population and its great dynasties.
