Map of Ancient Egypt, showing the Nile up to the fifth cataract, and major cities and sites of the Dynastic period (c. 3150 BC to 30 BC). Cairo and Jerusalem are shown as reference cities. (CC BY SA Jeff Dahl)

The ancient Egypts are one of the oldest documented cultures, they settled in Northeast Africa and formed first structures like cities and states. Their early astronomical practices are not well documented, but here we try to give a glance on the known terms and the late names as used today within the IAU.
