The Ancient Egyptians built a society that lasted three millennia and still captures the imagination of people today.

First part and introduction of a series on the history of philosophy. A story that starts in ancient times, but (surprisingly) not with the Greeks.

The Mediterranean Sea is located in simple words in the South of France. It is the link for example between France and Egypte. The debate of the Suez Canal lasted for many years and dealt with the issues of import and export in that region. There is no doubt that the help of the Marines for example or the Blue Helmets of the United Nations can help to ensure security in that zone.
