Brief History of Ancient Egypt Ancient Egypt was located along the Nile River in northeastern Africa for more than 3,000 years, between 3300 BC and 30 BC. It was the longest ancient civilization to ever have existed. To start of with, there were two kingdoms in Ancient Egypt, Upper Egypt, located in southern Ancient Egypt, and Lower Egypt, located in northern Ancient Egypt. Around 3000 BC, the beginning of the Bronze Age, the king of Upper Egypt conquered Lower Egypt and made Egypt into one kingdom. People then started to call the king of Egypt the Pharaoh. From this time onwards, Egypt was divided into nine time periods. Namely, the Early Dynastic Kingdom, the Old Kingdom, the 1st intermediate Period, the Middle Kingdom, the 2nd Intermediate Period, the New Kingdom, the Late Dynastic Period and the Greek- Roman Period. The Early Dynastic Period, 3000 BC2575 BC, was the beginning of Ancient Egyptian History. The Old Kingdom, 2575 BC- 2150 BC, was the time of the pyramids where the pharaohs had the greatest power over Egypt. During the 1st Intermediate period, 2150 BC- 2040 BC, there was internal war and Ancient Egypt fell apart into several smaller Kingdoms. In 2040 BC, the Pharaohs managed to restore peace in Egypt, forming the Middle Kingdom, 2040 BC- 1783 BC. However, the pharaohs in this period were never as powerful compared to that of the old Kingdom and Early Dynastic period. Pyramids were also no longer built. During the 2nd intermediate period, 1783 BC- 1540 BC, the Hyksos invaded Lower Egypt and conquered it only be pushed out by the pharaohs of upper Egypt, reuniting Egypt again. This formed the New Kingdom, 1540 BC- 1070 BC. At the end of the Bronze Age, there was a general crisis around the Eastern Mediterranean and West Asia. The Ancient Egyptian government collapsed, leading to the Late Dynastic period, 1070 BC- 332 BC. During this period Nubians, then the Persians ruled most of Egypt. Then, the Greeks and Romans conquered Egypt resulting in the Greek- Roman period which marked the end of Ancient Egypt. As a whole, Ancient Egypt was one of the most advanced ancient civilizations with a long history. It is thus, also one of the most interesting and well known Ancient civilizations in the world.
