If you’re like me, the only thing you know about ancient Egypt is that their gods looked like Gerard Butler and that King Tut had a condo made of stone-a. That’s not entirely true, as classic city-builders like Impressions’ Pharaoh and Tilted Mill’s Children of the Nile are two of my favorite oldies. From them I learned that jugglers will only walk so far down the street and don’t build farms too close to the Nile. In other words, I’m nearly an Egyptologist.
Today a new Egypt simulation landed on the App Store, covering the time period when the pyramids weren’t even gleams in Imhotep’s eye. Predynastic Egypt is the rather dull title, but the game itself looks very promising.
The game starts in the year 5000 B.C., when the Egyptians were loose bands of nomads living along the banks of the life-giving Nile, and continues until the Upper and Lower Kingdoms are united. The game seems to pride itself on historical accuracy which is cool, but can sometimes lead to a sense of railroading when incorporated into games. Haven’t played it yet, so we’ll have to see.

As far as I know, there’s no other sim/empire-builder like this for mobile so I’m more than willing to take a gamble on it.
PREDYNASTIC EGYPT 2
The Predynastic of Upper Egypt (Southern)
Introduction Shadowrun: hong kong - extended edition for macs.
1.In the upper reaches of the Egyptian Nile south of the Fayum A, a very different tradition emerged after 5000 BC, one that earlier and more completely made the transition to a domesticated subsistence base and one that developed a social system in which hierarchy and differentiation were central qualities.As part of this southern system emerged emphasis on the symbols of rank, the long-distance networks needed to acquire them, and the craft specialization required to produce them.

2.All this contrasts with the more basic Neolithic way of life of Lower Egypt where society did not develop such internal differentiation and where hunting/gathering long remained an important part of the economy. (This latter situation was possibly due to the wider potentials for this type of activity in the Fayum and Delta regions than in the more restricted valley of the south).
3. This early separation of basic subsistence strategies accompanied cultural separation that is reflected in the archaeological record by the following features:
Predynastic Egyptian Art
- Much greater elaboration of pottery, jewelry, and lithic items in the south than in the north
- Cemetery burial in south as opposed to in-settlement burial in north.
Egypt Predynastic Period
- Representational sculpture in the south, none in the north.
