Is Egypt colonized by great Britain?

NO. While the specific term "colony" is disputable in terms of Britain's historic relationship with Egypt, it is fair to say that Britain had military force and control over Egyptian affairs from 1882-1954. After the Officer's Uprising in 1954, Egypt became a completely independent nation.

What was the economy of ancient Athens based on?

It was based on trade. The Athenians lived near the coast, and were connected with many other civilizations. They used coins as their currency, even though they were easier to steal. Coins were worth more, and were easier to carry, unlike the spartan lead bars.

Do Egyptians hate Jews?

Many Egyptians are strongly Anti-Zionist. This leads to a lot of rhetoric conflating Zionism with Judaism. However, Egyptians, as Muslims, are duty-bound to respect Jews and their culture. This leads to a form of doublethink where Egyptians will believe Anti-Semitic nonsense that comes along with the Anti-Zionist feelings they have while believing simultaneously that they are respectful and courteous to Jewish people because of being Muslim. Of course, both of these opinions cannot be right. The degree to which an Egyptian truly likes Jews is directly related to how little or much of the Anti-Semitic garbage he believes.

What were the Israelites called before leaving Egypt?

The Bible refers to the land as the Land of the Canaanites, although it is doubtful that the people of the southern Levant actually thought of themselves as 'Canaanites' during the Bronze Age period. Far from entering the land, the Israelites turn out, according to archaeological evidence, to have been rural Canaanites who left the region of the rich coastal cities and settled peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.

Can you fly from Egypt to Israel?

The information I have is both dated and unofficial - but since no one else has answered this question, I will share what I know.

In the summer of 2001, I was studying in Israel for the summer. My friend and I spent a few days at the beautiful five star resort, the Taba Hilton in Taba, Egypt - just 1km or so from the border with Eilat, Israel.

Using my U.S. passport, I had no trouble entering Egypt. I also met Israeli citizens in the Taba hotel, as well as British citizens and (obviously) Egyptians.

I asked a few of the hotel staff if they ever get a chance to visit Eilat (again, it's only about 1km away!)

They said that the Israeli border patrol was suspicious of Egyptian citizens who wanted to cross the land border, and that it was too much of a hassle for them just to see the neighboring city of Eilat, Israel.

So I think the answer is technically yes - Egyptians CAN get a visa to Israel - but some advance planning and a detailed explanation as to the reason of the visit will be needed.

Citizens of the following countries will be issued tourist visas free of charge at every port or entrance terminal to Israel (including when entering from Egypt to Israel):

Europe -- Austria, Italy, Iceland, Ireland, Belgium, Britain, Gibraltar, Germany (people born after 1.1.1928), Denmark, Holland, Hungary, Greece, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Monaco, Malta, Norway, Slovenia, San Marino, Spain, Portugal, Finland, France, Cyprus, Sweden, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia.

Who had rights in ancient egypt?

There were no such things as "rights" in Ancient Egypt. The concept of "rights" did not come into existence until the Modern Era, specifically during the Enlightenment (1600s-1700s CE).

Ancient Egypt operated under the principle of "privileges" where a person's a civic abilities and responsibilities were determined by the Pharaoh. Naturally, individuals closely related to the Pharaoh and other nobles had more privileges than other people. Scribes had more privileges than commoners and commoners had more privileges than slaves.

A difficult question. Consider the astronomical circles at Naba Playa, in Nubia, which some believe reflect stellar alignments as far back as 16000 to 15000 years ago.

But others interpret the same evidence as less than 10 000 years ago.

Some of the Egyptian Pharaohs may have come from this region.

As to the WHY, there is safety in numbers and a communal aggregation has so many advantages that must be regarded as inevitable.

The sharing of tasks, which in turn leads to specialization of tasks.

Why did Egypt depend in Nubian?

Egypt took over Nubia because they were really greedy and wanted more... when they found out that Nubia had a lot of land they wanted it... so the Nubians kept moving to small places. But pretty soon the Egyptiians could not take care of all of the land so they died out. They moved back where they origanally united.
