Giza is famous by its pyramids, sphinx, and the rich, decorated of the high official's Old kingdom tombs, but in fact, the site was settled in prehistoric times; Neolithic objects have been found there.

There is information scarcity about Giza before Cheops.

This paper aims to shed light on the results of the documentation of pre-dynastic activities in Giza and the interpretation of its contexts.

there were Early Dynastic mortuary traditions at Giza, to which attention will be drawn in this paper.

Excavations have brought to light funerary monuments dating from the first three dynasties in the southern sector of the Gîza necropolis, but the study of these has been hampered to a certain extent by the lack of an overall plan of the area, marking the locations of the known tombs.

The identification of the Buto-Maadi culture (dating from 3, 800 to 3, 200 BC) is based on a number of sites in Lower Egypt, such as Maadi, Wadi Degla, , and Buto.
