Egypt never split, it actually combined. Pre-dynasty Egypt had many many tribes fighting for dominance. Eventually only two tribes were left. The tribe in Upper Egypt and the tribe in Lower Egypt. Around 3050 BC, a king called Narmer (or Menes) united all of Egypt into one country and proclaimed himself pharaoh.
