 * __The Three Kingdoms__
 * ** They kept peace with Nubia and traded with them (only rarely had problems). **
 * ** They sent merchants to the eastern coast of Mediterranean to find timber, which is trees that they used for building. **
 * ** It was used to make boats, furniture, and houses. **
 * ** Near the end of the Old Kingdom, governors in the provinces started to challenge the power of the pharaohs' government. **
 * ** Egypt's unity crumbled, and the dynasties got weak. **

 * **Earlier rulers restored and united the country.**
 * ** Paraohs spent the nation's wealth on the public works instead of on wars . **
 * ** An example for public works is they constructed buildings and irrigation projects. **
 * ** Egypt got even richer. **
 * ** Even though they got richer, weaker rulers followed. **
 * **   Do to foreign invaders, they lost control of the country.    **
 * ** When the Egyption princes drove out foreign invaders, that was the marking point of the New Kingdom. **
 * ** The Egyptions wanted to build an empire. **
 * ** They also created large armies- they had bronz weapons and protection which made them unbeatable.  **
 * **  They created mounted warriors, charioteers, and really big armies of foot soldiers.   **
 * **   King Tutankhamen became the ruler of Egypt when he was still just a kid.        **
 * **  When he was about 18 years old, he died and was buried with very precious things.   **
 * **  Then in 1922, an archaeologist discovered his tomb.   **
 * **Since then, the studies of King Tutankhamen's funeral treasures taught us a lot about the ancient Egyptians.**
