Egyptian Dynasties

Egyptian dynasties refer to the series of ruling families that governed ancient Egypt over millennia, from around 3100 BCE to the conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE. Each dynasty is typically defined by a key family or a significant era. The dynasties are categorized into three main periods: the Old Kingdom (famous for the pyramids), the Middle Kingdom (known for literature and arts), and the New Kingdom (notable for expansive empire and monumental architecture). Understanding these dynasties helps us appreciate the political, cultural, and technological advancements of ancient Egyptian civilization.
