The Paleolithic Age (Lower) or the Deep Paleolithic Period:

This era began with the appearance of man on the land of Egypt, and continued until the year 10000 BC, where the ancient Egyptian life as it was said in the mountains and plateaus scattered, and was unstable; because the human was a lot of mobility from place to place in search of food, He also made his tools of stone, such as knife, saw and ballet, and at the end of this age, man knew the fire and helped him to know his life. He used it to protect himself from predatory animals, lighting and cooking. The source of water used in this period was the rain With its time.

It has been shown that the sites that are the sites of the age of the Achilles that the environment had a good amount of rain, but after the Achilles period prevailed a period of drought evidenced by sand deposits (aerobic) and erosion of red soil, and indicate the extent of the sites of archaeological sites, For long periods, in Wadi Halfa, I found evidence that the site had been rebuilt three times.

However, there have been droughts that led to the population gathering in the Nile Valley after the Sahara became poor in its water, plant and animal resources. The discovered stone machines that date back to this era indicate that the Nile Valley has become densely populated from Khartoum to the Delta.

Since then, the ancient Egyptian dwellings around the banks of the Nile are almost permanent; because the effects of this era in all its phases are indicative of the continued settlement of the Nile Valley without interruption, and that all the sites of that era were far from the course of the Nile, ranging from one kilometer to five kilometers, They were rich in the valley as a source of water, but they were not indispensable for his animal and plant, or they were away from the course of the Nile a distance that allows them to escape from flooding ..

Many of the lower Stone Age stone machines were found in several sites along the Nile River in Nubia, Upper Egypt and the Delta, found by archaeologists Erslan, Shafanifort, Limorman and De Morgan since the beginning of this century. Egypt was a cradle of human culture long before the beginning of Pharaonic history.

Sandford and Erkel (1929-1933 - 1939) and Erkel alone (1934) combined the stone machinery of this era with the riverbeds. They found primitive Ashley machines, chisel machines, and fragments of both castles in a 30 meter runway, mixed together in a 15 meter runway Views of the Nile River.
Bulier-Lapper had found stone machines in the Abbasid plain in Cairo before Chilean and Chilean in 1925.
During the Nubian salvage expedition, a site with the remains of the Lower Paleolithic period was found near the edge of a valley, buried in rubble of gravel deposits and resting on the Nubian sandstone. These artifacts consisted of nouvelles and fragments of fragments from one side and two sides, Abrasive and coagulants, all of which are chrysolite, and the length of the site is 2000 meters wide and 200 meters wide.
And found a nearby location on the site of another site with the effects of fireplaces, and researchers were able to classify the stone tools to the periods of the various Assyrian civilization, and found what represents the upper stage and the Episcopal and Mekukia and Achilles, and the Abu Abu Anja near Omdurman found Arkel 1949 machines representing the stages of the Ophelian Mycobacterium and upper Achilles.

The Early Stone Age (Middle) or Pre-Middle-Middle Period: Middle Paleolithic:

It began with the appearance of man on the land of Egypt, and continued until the year 10000 BC, and the oldest trace of stone found to be found as a result of the archeological excavations: Katyon Thomson (1946-1952), Keaton and Gardeter (1934), Sandford and Arkel (1929 - 33 - 39) Kitton Thompson (1946) identified three phases called Mestria for the Nile Valley, Achillea Levalloisia, and Lavalois, outside and outside, and in the oasis of Kharga and the nearby desert. The most recent excavations by Jisha Rochello Siki (1965-1968) ) And Marx (1968) detailed many of what was revealed ..
 The sites of the Middle Paleolithic period in the Egyptian Western Desert, associated with sediments and marine animals, were recently found in the Wendorf and Child 1976 research. This research led to the rejection of the labels that were launched by Kathioun Thompson and were replaced by the Jishar One is attributed to the civilization of Sudanese Sanskrit and the other to the Emotional Civilization of North Africa.
Marx is known for two large groups dating back to this age, namely, the Nubian Mustarian civilization. These two groups develop into the Upper Paleolithic civilization. Their history was known in the form of radioactive carbon, and they were found to be 20750 BC. M 15850 BC + 250 years, has been called the second period the name of Khor Musa ....
The fossils that accompanied this civilization also include the ancient bull, the turkey deer and the hippopotamus.
Old Stone Age (Top):
In 1923, stone machines were found in the Kom Ombo plain, known as the Spellae, and were manufactured by dwarf machines. Recently, several small machines and knives were found in the Nile valley, dating back to 18,000-7000 years ago. It indicates that the Nile Valley area was a ripple of diversity and cultural change.
In general, the Upper Paleolithic period in the Nile Valley has been characterized by the manufacture of large fragments of spleen, amphibian, and dwarf fragments.
This is an indication of the fact that the population knew a kind of wild wheat. Also found in the fortress of Kom Ombo was the Ornassian civilization, which is a role of the civilization of the Nile, which is between 14000 before the present time -11 000, and this civilization Almnchaoah permission to contemporary civilization Alasnawah.
The civilization of the Spell was spread from the second waterfall to Qena, and was located between 15000-11000 years before the present, and the effects include the extent of machines large and small size, and its effects were found in several places, including Manshia, Esna, Edfu, Kalah, Halva, Fakhura, The size of the shops during this period between 40 square meters and 800 square meters, indicating that the population of one camp was between 5 - 40 people, and it is worth mentioning the finding of a stone walk, indicating the use of a kind of wheat ground in food.
It was believed that there was a time gap between the Upper Paleolithic Civilization and the Neolithic civilization in Egypt, but the presence of microlene traces in the oasis of Kharga and in several locations in the nearby desert had blocked the gap.
Neolithic, starting from the year 10,000 until the year 4000, or from 7000 until 5000 BC on the difference in the estimate of the archaeologists.
As the archaeologists saw a dramatic change in climatic conditions, rain was cut, grasslands and deserts were desolate and no longer fit for life, while the marshes that filled the valley dried up, and its land became fairer for life. This had an effect on human exodus from the desert and valleys become dry to a permanent source of water and Honehr Nile.
The vegetation covering the Sahara and the fishing lagoon gradually vanished. Therefore, humans thought of another way of living. They managed to cultivate some of the wild-growing plants that were grinding their grains in the previous era. Agriculture took on the nature of the orchard in the neighboring areas , And began a new phase of the enjoyment of the environment of the Lower Nile Valley and the Delta, the work of cutting grasses and mosquitoes and scavengers, and drying swamps, and the establishment of bridges of the Nile, the preparation of fields for agriculture, and the eradication of the predatory animal of the hippopotamus and Tamazihh and other, Sthaddamh in agriculture, also used as a resource for food, and that was as a productivity revolution in the old world of man ..
 The life of stability began with the construction of houses made of clay and wood, and the communities appeared in the form of small villages, and the Egyptian man developed his tools, characterized by precision and small size, and the manufacture of crockery ..
In Fayoum, there are stores of sheep of this age, containing wheat and barley, and there is also evidence that the man was planting sorghum and flax.
The remains of the bones indicate that one of the most important animals that reintroduced in that era dog, donkey, bull, sheep, goat and pig, has benefited from the human skin and wool and hair, and made clothing, and used meat and milk food, and made of the bone types of weapons.
It was found in the Ramadi Bani Salamah (a small village in the south-west of the delta near the village of Khatatba, about 50 km north-west of Cairo, administratively following the center of Imbaba, Giza governorate), at the mouth of Wadi Houf in Helwan, In Upper Egypt, and some were found in Fayoum, in the Western Desert and some of its oases, especially in the oases and offshore.
The large archaeological sites and the cabins also indicate that there are relatively large buildings in both the Ramadi, Bani Salama, Maadi, Naqada and Hirakonopolis. In Marmada Bani Salameh, traces of buildings constructed of clay, shops and stores were found. The dwellings were arranged in two opposite rows, These oval houses, an area of about 2 x 3.4 meters, had a floor carved into the ground surrounded by a wall of mud. The house was also equipped with a large storage room for huge basket-shaped wagons and pottery vessels.
It seems that the residents of Rammeh thought of a method of planning their village, by building their houses in rows almost straight separated by a narrow street, and were likely to bury their dead between their homes (in rooms estimated at 1 × 1.5 ×) and not in a private cemetery, it is the case in the rest of the other cultural centers in Egypt.
Archaeological discoveries in this village have shown that their inhabitants practiced agriculture, found the way to store grain in wicker and straw silos, and they also practiced the pottery industry, which they tried to add to it aesthetically by decorating its surfaces with simple elements.
Their effects also indicate that their people grazed cattle, mowed the cows on the moor, and made heads of three-pointed arrows. They knew the fabric, weaving their linen clothes, and adorned them with ivory bracelets, rings, and beads.
