Pharaonic dynasties

Pharaonic dynasties refer to the ruling families of ancient Egypt, typically categorized into several periods, from the Early Dynastic Period around 3100 BCE to the Ptolemaic Period ending in 30 BCE. Each dynasty is marked by a series of pharaohs, who were both political leaders and religious figures, believed to be gods on earth. Notable dynasties include the Old Kingdom, known for the construction of the pyramids, and the New Kingdom, which saw Egypt's territorial expansion and wealth. The dynasties reflect the evolution of ancient Egyptian culture, governance, and monumental architecture throughout thousands of years.
