The Ancient Egyptian civilization came under the rule of the Ancient Greeks via Alexander the Great in 332 BCE, but the Egyptian culture predominantly remained as it was. So, this period of Greek rule could be considered a continuation of the Ancient Greek culture. Ancient Egypt would then fall to the Romans in 30 BCE, who were less willing to allow differences within their civilization. This continued until the 7th-century occupation, loss, and re-occupation by Islamic forces. It has remained a predominantly Islamic country ever since, so any of these eras could be seen as the end of the Ancient Egyptian civilization.
