Since time unknown, the Egyptian people wandered around the Nile floodplains as a nomadic tribe. After many decades of this nomadic lifestyle, Egyptians slowly gathered in one spot and founded a city that is called Niwt-Rst.
In this new city was the palace of Ramesses II. Ramesses ordered his single unit of warriors to explore the land around the city, and ordered the people of Niwt-Rst to train more warriors to protect the city. When these new warriors were to be completed, they will be called "Egypt's First".
Also, with the money that Egypt was gaining, they were putting 100% of their focus into scientific research. The current researched topic was the thought of superior beings. This thought was called Mysticism, and would be worked on until scientists and monks deemed it was complete.
The few people of Niwt-Rst noticed a nice source of stone to the west of the capital, and the Nile river. It produced much food, production and gold, therefore they gathered this resource to bring it to the Niwt-Rst, but not enough to be able to trade it.
The beginning of an empire was forming, and so is the secrets of the pharoah, Ramesses II.
Egypt was advancing. They had perfected their study on Mysticism, and wished to learn how to efficiently hunt and gather the animals that roamed the desert and Nile. This new topic would not take them as long to research as Mysticism did.
Outside of Egypt's borders, the warriors were exploring the west. They had spotted a source of wheat to the north, and also an oasis to the northwest. As far as their eyes could see, most of the land around them was a desert, and the warriors dubbed this desert the Sahara.
Egyptian researches and hunters perfected the idea of sustained hunting and gathering, and then wished to learn how to protect themselves from enemies and animals from afar. This new topic of study would be called Archery, and would take longer than Hunting to master.
Niwt-Rst had also finished training Egypt's First, and then proceeded to train a division of workers to work the land around Niwt-Rst, and to truly take advantage of the riches offered to the Egyptian Empire. These workers would make roads for easier travel, and do many other things to improve Egyptian life.
The cultural reach of Niwt-Rst had expanded, and so did what they could see from their own territory. There is a source of dye even further to their north, and to their east, a sea with a source of clams near another patch of land. Also, to their south, continued the Nile, and if you looked hard enough to your southeast, you could see some plains, and the end of the Sahara's reach.
Ramesses smiled in his palace, knowing full well that he could make a good home for his people, and reign for some time to come.
