The Egyptian communityThe Egyptian community is one of the most deep-rooted communities all over the world; due to the fact that the ancient Egyptian practiced agriculture 5000 years ago, they believed in the necessity of achieving cooperation among members of the community. So, they established a central government to regulate matters among them.
On the other hand, the geographical position of Egypt helped the Egyptians to be in constant contact with the East and the West, the North and the South, a matter that helped them acquire
a lot of experiences and cultures.
Hence, the Egyptian community serves as a melting pot for all cultures and civilizations, yet the Egyptians maintained their habits and traditions as well as their social and cultural characteristics.
The Egyptian community, however, reflects a series of values and principles derived from various religions. Religion is the main source of the cultural and intellectual heritage of the Egyptian people.
In modern times, health care, youth and children care, the role of Non-Governmental Organizations and civil society institutions affect the nature of the Egyptian community in regards to its modern and renewed dimensions.

Historical background
The establishment of the ancient Egyptian community was linked to a great extent to the factors of environment, a matter that paved the way before setting up one of the oldest human civilizations on the banks of the Nile River.
Undoubtedly, building up a life and community is the fruit of the human interaction with the milieu and the effect of both on the other.
Indeed, the pillars of the Egyptian community were established when the ancient Egyptian managed to tame the River Nile which had a tremendous effect on the life of the ancient Egyptian.
Therefore, the ancient Egyptian came to learn about agriculture ever since the so-called Modern Stone Age when he began to prepare the lands of the valley for cultivation. This is besides establishing his own cities and villages close to the River Nile.
And, as he decided to stay near the banks of the River Nile, he sought to solve the problems that would endanger his life in case of the Nile flood.
So, the ancient Egyptian found out that he could never establish a community except through controlling the River Nile, which he adored, via benefiting from its water in order to cultivate the land.
Hence, he built dams to protect himself and his properties besides digging canals in order to make efficient use of the Nile water.
The ancient Egyptian found out that this could not be done alone, so came the need for combined efforts with his life partners. Thus, he got the meaning of community that is based on cooperation without which he could have never subjugated his own milieu.
In addition, the ancient Egyptian realized the fact that such cooperation should be done within the framework of rules so as to help organize it. That's why he came to know what we nowadays call the government whose role is to achieve justice so as to help make a stable life.
