This study is the first attempt to reconstruct the prehistory of Arabic by examining lexical evidence of its symbiotic relationship with Ancient Egyptian already apparent from the Pyramid Texts (c. 2613-2181 BC). It documents the contention that Ancient Egypt was a strategic site in its early prehistory.
