Nubians from Ta-Sety (translates to the land of the bow) or Kush migrated towards the southern part of the Nile (upper Egypt) under the command of their leader. They then started to farm the land as the Nile dumped fresh fertile soil onto the land as it flooded. 

It is argued that because the foundations of civilisation were more evenly suited to the physicality of men and women, and because the creation of life has historically been associated with femininity, a more equal and arguably matriarchal culture emerged. Women in ancient egypt could rule, vote and own property. It would take Britain until the 20th century AD to achieve the same equality.
