Existence in the shadow of Egypt
The C-Group culture developed on the territory controlled by the
pharaohs of the Old and Middle Kingdoms , known to the Egyptians as
Wawat or
Irchet.
Although the people of C-Group in many cases occupied the same settlements
as the communities of A-Horizon, there is no direct evidence for ethnic
relationship between the two cultures. Despite the military occupation
the inhabitants of the frontier areas managed to gain some profits from
the Egyptian civilization made it possible to spread the use of dried
silt brick, and the settled way of life led to progress in the construction
of human dwellings, fortified settlements included. The specific burial
ritual included burials covered with earthen-stone barrows, animal sacrifice
and providing the dead with small magic figurines and equipment proper
to their social status and occupation (tools, weapons).
