blanketing the remains of a powerful dynasty that
ruled Egypt 5, 000 years ago. When the wind dies

the horizon. This is where our history of Egypt

of the greatest civilizations on earth. Here, on

World War Ii League Of Nations

History of the League of Nations- Through my
studies and research I have come to the following
