说到古埃及,人们能想到的著名人物除图特王外,恐怕就剩埃及艳后克娄巴特拉七世了。尽管克娄巴特拉出生于亚历山大,但她其实是马其顿的后人,而马其顿人则是亚历山大大帝最信任的上将托勒密一世的后裔。从公元前323年到公元前30年,托勒密王朝一直管辖着埃及,其大部分领袖都出身于希腊文化背景。而克娄巴特拉之所以如此有名,是因为她是托勒密王朝第一批会说埃及语的王室成员。
2. The ancient Egyptians forged one of the earliest peace treaties on record.
古埃及人制定了史上最早的和平协定
For over two centuries the Egyptians fought against the Hittite Empire for control of lands in modern day Syria. The conflict gave rise to bloody engagements like 1274 B.C.s Battle of Kadesh, but by time of the pharaoh Ramses II neither side had emerged as a clear victor. With both the Egyptians and Hittites facing threats from other peoples, in 1259 B.C. Ramses II and the Hittite King Hattusili III negotiated a famous peace treaty. This agreement ended the conflict and decreed that the two kingdoms would aid each other in the event of an invasion by a third party. The Egyptian-Hittite treaty is now recognized as one of the earliest surviving peace accords, and a copy can even be seen above the entrance to the United Nations Security Council Chamber in New York.
