The current of Pelasgian migration towards the southern regions had also extended over the northern region of Africa. Even since the first Neolithic times and , even since the last times of the Paleolithic epoch, numerous pastoral Pelasgian tribes had passed over the continents of Europe and Asia Minor, to the fertile plains of the Nile and from there to the vast regions of Libya. These pastoral, and at the same time warlike tribes, which nevertheless were endowed with great civilizing qualities, had founded the first political reign over Egypt.

The most ancient Egyptian dynasty, so-called the GODS, was of Pelasgian nationality . The Greeks also attributed the epithet of dioi or divine, only to the Pelasgians. Saturn, one of the most illustrious forefathers of the Pelasgian race, had ruled, as historical traditions tell us, not only in Europe, but also over Egypt and Libya .Thebes, the oldest and grandest capital of Egypt, has a Pelasgian name. Homer calls the citadel with immense riches and with 100 gates There also existed the tradition that the city of Thebes from Egypt had been founded by a Pelasgian king, Ogygus of Beotia , who had lived before the great flood of Deucalion (Noah). Finally, the Thebans, had the same tradition as the Pelasgians of Europe, that they were the most ancient people on earth .

The ancient religion of the Egyptians also has the character of its Pelasgian nationality.

The Egyptians, venerated in the beginning the sky and the earth, or Uranos and Gaea, whom they called Mother . There was in Egypt the cult of Saturn, of Amon, of Latona, of Apollo, Diana and Ilithia, Pelasgian deities .

In the ancient papyri, which the Egyptian priests deposited by the body of the mummies, is often mentioned the blessed and divine country from the northern parts of the ancient world, situated near the great and holy river, where the gods had been born and where the souls of the deceased migrated .

The ancient inhabitants of Egypt had the same belief in life after death, which the Pelasgians from Europe, especially the Hyperboreans, also had. The Sky Column from the Carpathians figures also on the coffins of the Egyptian mummies as symbol of eternal and happy life .In the same religious texts of Egyptian papyri there were presented with numerous words of Pelasgian origin .

The first period of Egyptian history is Pelasgian. This period is distinguished by religious, ethnic and political characters well differentiated from the following epochs. Apart from the old traditions preserved through by writers of antiquity, new archaeological documents confirm each day that before the Pharaonic Egypt, a Pelasgian Egypt had existed .
