The "Two Kingdoms" of Upper and Lower Egypt were united around 3000 BC, under the rule of the pharaoh called Menes (alternatively Narmer), the founder of the First Dynasty.
Upper (southern) Egypt was later ruled by the Hyksos and the Kingdom of Kush. The greatest extent of Egypt's empire occurred in the 18th Dynasty, beginning around 1550 BC with pharaoh Ahmose I.
