The '''Ancient Egyptian''' civilisation flourished in the Nile Valley from the late 4th millennium BC, until its absorption into the [[Roman empire]] in 30 BC. After this time Ancient Egyptian culture and religion continued to flourish in Egypt until a decree by the Byzantine emperor Justinian in the 6th century AD forced the closure of [[Philae]] Temple. | The '''Ancient Egyptian''' civilisation flourished in the Nile Valley from the late 4th millennium BC, until its absorption into the [[Roman empire]] in 30 BC.
