Best Answer

As ancient Egypt started, there were two kingdoms. The Upper kingdom was in the south, and the lower kingdom was in the north. When the two kingdoms were united, we get what we call toady Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt covered what we know today as Egypt, and part of modern Nubia. Eventually Alexander the great conquered Egypt for Macedonia, and set the Ptolemy's on the throne. The Macedonian dynasty ended with Cleopatra when Julius Caesar took over Egypt for Rome.

The first kingdom was the Old Kingdom. It lasted from 2700 BC. - 2200 BC. In this time period Pharaohs were regarded as gods and were worshipped. They were buried in huge tombs known as pyramids.

The second kingdom was the Middle Kingdom. It lasted from 2100 BC - 1800 BC. This was known as Egypt's Golden Age because Egypt was flourishing. Pharaohs were supposed to be good rulers, however they were now buried in hidden tombs to prevent them from being robbed.

The third kingdom was the New Kingdom. It lasted from 1500 BC - 1000 BC. Egypt expanded during this time, by expanding borders and becoming a world power. Pharaohs were the absolute rulers and were buried in the Valley of Kings.
