Egypt controls the Suez Canal, the shortest sea link between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Ancient civilizations arose along the narrow floodplain of the Nile, protected by the deserts that were natural barriers to invaders. Egyptians take pride in their rich heritage and in their descent from what is considered the first great civilization. Some 4,500 years ago Old Kingdom Egypt possessed enough peace and wealth to cultivate a culture devoted to the afterlife. Some 20,000 to 30,000 people were mobilized to construct the Great Pyramid at Giza for the pharaoh Khufu; at 147 meters (481 feet) high it was the tallest monument in the world for thousands of yearsuntil the 19th century. Egypt is Africa’s second most populous country after Nigeria, and it has the highest population in the Arab world. About 95 percent of Egyptians live along the Nileon less than 5 percent of Egypt’s territory. The Nile Valley is one of the world’s most densely populated areas, containing an average of 1,540 persons per square kilometer (3,820 per square mile). Most Egyptians are Muslim Arabs, but there is a sizeable Coptic Christian population of seven million. The Aswan High Dam, completed in 1971, provides hydroelectricity, as well as a controlled water supply for year-round irrigation and desert reclamation.
