Chronology of ancient Egypt

The first dynasty: 3200 ~ 2850 BC. From menes to Qatar, there are eight pharaohs.

The second dynasty: 2850 ~ 2686 BC. From Hotepseknemoui to kask, there are six pharaohs.

Ancient Kingdom or Memphis Empire (2686 ~ 2 BC181year)

The third dynasty: 2686 ~ 26 BC13 years. From Neteriknet-Djeser in Natri to Houni, * * * has five kings. Jossel's rule was the beginning of power and victory. At this time, a magnificent stone building represented by the stepped pyramid building in Shakala appeared. Imhotep, the architect, writer and scholar of the complex, became one of the first great men in history books. This era is a period of the development of a powerful centralized monarchy. The monarch sat in Memphis and appointed the governor to rule the country.

The fourth dynasty: 26 BC13 ~ 2494. From Snefrou to Skepseskaf, there were six or seven pharaohs. Judging from the grandeur of the pyramids, the rule of Snefru, Khufu and harff was the peak of this era. The pyramids built in Dashar, Merton and Kisa show the good governance and economic prosperity of the dynasty. The fifth dynasty: 2494 ~ 2345 BC. From Uzer to Unas, there were nine pharaohs. The most famous are Sahoure and Djedkare-Isesi.

In the fifth dynasty, the consciousness of "sun worship" developed rapidly, and the famous pyramid inscription was engraved on the wall of the Wunis pyramid in Shakara. The sixth dynasty: 2345 ~ 2 BC181year. From Titi I to Queen Nitocris, the seven kings include Pepi I and Pepy II who lived for hundreds of years.

Although the Sixth Dynasty was famous for its military and commercial expeditions as far away as the southern tip of Africa, Memphis, a place where some governors kept expanding and concentrating in history, was threatened and caused civil strife.

The first transitional period (2181~1991BC)

Seventh dynasty: only ruled for 70 days.

The eighth dynasty: 2 18 1 ~ 2 130 BC. * * * There were eight to twenty-seven pharaohs, but their names were not recorded.

The ninth dynasty to the tenth dynasty: 2 130 ~ 2040 BC in the north. There are six pharaohs, three of whom are called Katie.

Eleventh dynasty: 2 130 ~ 2040 BC in the south. * * * There are three pharaohs.

Montuhotep II unified the whole country in 2050 BC, and the Thebes monarch of the 1 1 dynasty ruled the whole of Egypt. Although this makes their hometown Thebes more and more important, it is still not enough to replace Memphis. The rulers of Thebes had to travel back and forth in fashion, and built palaces and small towns such as Yiti-Tawi at the entrance of Fayoum in the 12 dynasty. The dynasty moved the center of power northward without giving up Thebes, indicating that the powerful centralized government was gradually restored.

The Middle Kingdom or the First Empire of Thebes (BC 199 1 ~ 1786)

The end of the eleventh dynasty: 2060 ~ 2000 BC. Three Montuhot elders unified Egypt for the first time around 2040 BC. Twelfth dynasty: 2000 ~ 1786 BC. Seven pharaohs were named Amon Hamat or Sesot Rees, and the last ruler was Queen Nefirul of Zeebek.

Like other countries in the world, stability and turmoil always appear alternately. The provincial decentralization forces and other forces unknown in history destroyed the Thebes regime inherited from the twelfth dynasty, and Egypt was divided into many vassal States.

The second transitional period (BC 1786 ~ BC 1567)

13th to 14th dynasties: BC 1786 ~ BC 1674. There are about forty pharaohs, some of whom are named Sebehotep. Some pharaohs ruled the northern, central and southern old French areas at the same time. Since BC 1730, these kings have only been vassals of Pharaoh Hikso.

Fifteenth to sixteenth generations: BC 1674 ~ BC 1567. The 16th dynasty is called "Little Sissok" dynasty, which only exists in the eastern delta. There were five pharaohs in the "Great Sissok" dynasty, including one Khyan and two Apopi.

Seventeenth dynasty: BC 1674 ~ 1567. Ten pharaohs ruled Thebes and its surrounding areas. They are vassals of Sissok. The last three pharaohs, Ta 'a I, Ta 'a II and Ka Mosis, began to struggle with the Sissok people in the north.

The New Kingdom or the Second Kingdom of Thebes (BC 1567 ~ 1085)

Eighteenth dynasty: 1567 ~ 1320 BC. From Ahmosis to Horan Heb, * * * has fourteen monarchs, including four Bittemos and four Amenorfis. Empress Ashipusu, Empress Ahnatun and Empress Tutankhamun all belonged to this dynasty.

The 2nd1dynasty: 65438 BC+0085 BC ~ 945 BC. In tanis, there are Daisy, Pusunas I and II. Rehor and Pinajem ruled Thebes.

Ancient Egyptian civilization refers to the period from the first waterfall of the Nile to the delta, from the Tassa culture in 5000 BC to the Arab conquest of Egypt in 642 AD.

In the 3rd century BC, Manieto divided the history of Egypt's conquest from menes to Macedonian Alexandria into thirty (or thirty-one) dynasties. Now scholars have divided the history of ancient Egypt into the following periods:

1, pre-dynasty period (about 3 100-2686 BC)

2. Early Dynasty (about 2686-2 18 1 year ago)

3. Ancient dynasty (about 265438 BC+0865438 BC+0-2040 BC)

4. the first intermediate period (about 2040- 1786 BC)

5. The Middle Ages (about BC 1786- 1567)

6. The second intermediate period; (approximately 1786- 1567)

7. the new dynasty (about BC 1567- 1085)

8. Post-dynasty period (about BC 1085-332)

9. The Rule of Greeks and Romans in Macedonia (332 BC-642 AD)

1 4, which is the period of the formation of slave countries and the emergence of the unified dynasty; The 5-7 period is the reconstruction period of the unified kingdom and empire; The eighth and ninth periods saw the decline and foreign domination of Egypt, a slave country.
