The earliest human settlements in modern-day Pursat trace back to the Paleolithic era, evidenced by rudimentary stone tools found near the fertile banks of the local rivers. As agriculture emerged during the Neolithic period, the inhabitants established small villages and began cultivating grains (wheat and pulse is attested in the archeological record) and domesticating animals, namely dogs and several types of water fowl. By the early Bronze Age, a distinct culture began to take shape, characterized by its unique pottery and jewelry. Throughout this epoch, the people in Pursat experienced gradual cultural and technological advancements, laying the foundation for the emergence of a future complex civilization. | |||

In the 9th century BCE, the {{wp|Egyptian people|Kemeti}} people rose to prominence as a regional power, establishing trade networks with neighboring civilizations and developing a sophisticated system of writing based on hieroglyphs. The Kemeti pantheon, featuring gods like Re, the sun god, and Isus, the goddess of fertility, became central to Kemeti religious life. During this era, monumental structures like the Great Stones and the Temple of Amin were constructed, showcasing the Kemeti's architectural prowess. They were great slavers and traders of fine goods all along the [[Bay of Oduniyyad]] and they were also connected into the [[Pre-modern global trade|Sea of Istroya trade network]]. As desertification of the [[Great Kavir]] pushed some closer the the coast, the Kemeti became war-like and centralized capturing most of the coastline of modern Pursat. The Kemeti dominated the local Arabs and Pursi people. | |||
In [[42]] AD, the {{|Coptic Christian}} faith was founded in Pursat and local Arabs and Pursi adopted it very quickly despite violent pushback from the Kemetis. | |||

The medieval period in Pursat was marked by the wars with and eventual occupation by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. During this time, Pursat became a crossroads of cultures and religions, with {{wp|Coptic Christianity}} and Islam coexisting alongside traditional Pursati beliefs. Intellectual pursuits flourished under Arab rule, with Pursat's scholars making significant contributions to fields like mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. Pursati architecture also underwent a transformation, incorporating Islamic influences into its designs. The Beys of Pursat, as the Caliphal province was called, were very wealthy and respected among the Caliphal court. | |||
It was during this time that the {{wp|Druze faith}} was founded in Pursat and many of the {{wp|Coptic Christians}} converted as it was most aligned with Islam and therefore more tolerated by the Arab Beys. | |||
