Likely, one of those compromises consists of acknowledging regional and national contribution to civilization as it now exists. Protection of artifacts should be paramount with all parties involved.

Early History of Egypt 3100-1200BC.
[ send me this paper ]
(3 pp). Archaeological evidence suggests that,
Egypt was inhabited by hunters over 250,000 years
ago when the region was a green grassland. The
Paleolithic period around 25,000BC brought
climatic changes, which turned Egypt into a desert.
Desertification of Egypt was halted by rains,
which allowed communities of cultivators to settle
in Middle Egypt and the Nile Delta. Throughout
most of its pre-dynastic history Egypt encompassed
a multiplicity of settlements, which gradually
became small tribal kingdoms. These kingdoms
evolved into two loosely confederated states: one
encompassed the Nile valley up to the Delta
(with the Naqada dominating) with Hierakonpolis as
capital, represented by the deities Seth and White
Crown; the other encompassed the Delta, with Buto
as its capital and represented by the deities Horus
and Red Crown. The two kingdoms vied for power
over all the land of Egypt. Bibliography lists
2 sources.
