Egypt was an ancient civilization ruled by pharaohs that left behind an extensive cultural heritage and mythology. The Egyptians build the Pyramids of Giza and various temples of great size. Located in North Africa, part of this civilization’s success is the effective use of the River Nile. Their religious pantheon included many Gods dispersed over various belief systems, philosophies and cults.
India history and geography
Pet (in the Parbatiya language) translates to “Belly” (in English); as mentioned in the appendix of the translation of the Vanshavali or Bansawali (“history and genealogical accounts of Nepal”). The Parbatiya word ‘Pet’ is known in the Newari language as Pwatha.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
