The purpose of the analysis is to draw attention to etiological relationships between, on the one hand, the particular features and phenomena of the environment which determined the way of life of the ancient Egyptians and, on the other, their particular religio-political thinking conceptual thinking. Also, a general introduction to causal relationships in prehistory and neuroscience is presented. The empirical evidence on the causal origins of the mainstream conceptual thinking of the Ancient Egyptians is all to the effect that the environment is essential and that it was not due to the incidence of self-creative, uncaused and 'magical' human thinking.
