African Civilization is as old as Africa. It is scientifically proven that Africa is the origin of humans. For this reason, African Civilization germinated in the indigenous African soil with its own civilizational features that expressed purely African thoughts and actions.

Using the population size of cities as an indicator of a well-formed civilization, David Wilkinson identified regional civilizations in Africa. Wilkinson was meticulous in focusing the defining characteristics of civilization into states with cities of over 10,000 population, possessing oral or written legal traditions, defended by established defence forces, and governed by ruling elites whose authority is rooted in legitimately constructed legislative and judicial foundations

This region can be singled out as the origin of man, the origin of the Nile, and the origin of the three monotheistic faiths, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The civilizations that originated in the Rift and the Nile Valleys were heavily influenced by
two things: the ancient Egyptian Civilization and the three monotheistic faiths mentioned above.

It has been seen that historical Africa serving as a source of the Nile Valley Civilizations and as a shelter and protector of the three monotheistic religions. These important contributions to the survival of the human faith, cultures, and civilizations are integral parts of African Civilization.

The Egyptian Civilization emerged around 3100 BCE, interacting with its geographical orientations.
