 * <span style="color: rgb(199,26,85);"> Egypt had gone through over 30 dynasties* during the timespan of 3100 B.C.- 332 B.C.
 * The dynasties* were grouped into 3 major time periods. Historians refer to these time periods as kingdoms.
 * <span style="color: rgb(199,26,85);"> The three kingdoms were called the Old Kingdom (the earliest time period), the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom (the latest time period). There were gaps of time in between these kingdoms which were times of wars, invasions, and weak rulers. However, these gaps of troubles were rare, and for the most part of history in ancient Egypt, everything was stable.
 * <span style="color: rgb(212,22,102);"> Legend says that a king named Menes (MEE neez) united Upper and Lower Egypt, thus beginning the first dynasty*.
 * Near what is present-day Cairo (KY roh), Menes built a city which he named Memphis. He made this city his capitol.
 * <span style="color: rgb(212,22,102);"> From there, King Menes ruled over the Two Lands.
 * <span style="color: rgb(215,25,102);"> There were two crowns, red and white, representing Upper and Lower Egypt (which the ancient Egyptians called the Two Lands). When these crowns were worn together, it meant that Upper and Lower Egypt were united.
 * <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(222,43,91);"> This union commenced one of the most stable civilizations in history.

 * Next to Cleopatra, Hatshepsut (from the 18th dynasty*) was one of the most famous female pharaohs* of Egypt.
 * Her son, Thutmose III, was too young to become pharaoh*. Hatshepsut became his regent*, and eventually appointed herself pharaoh*.
 * <span style="color: rgb(222,59,112);">        Although she was a woman, and men traditionally held the title of pharaoh*, Hatshepsut took on all the responsibilities required of a pharaoh*. Man or woman, the great civilization's power and wealth was in the pharaoh's* control.
 * <span style="color: rgb(222,59,112);">  Hatshepsut was a very wise ruler. Not all were like her, though. Some Egyptian pharaohs* were careless and cruel.
 * The ancient Egyptians believed that their pharaohs* were mortal forms of the falcon god Horus, the god of the sky.
 * Over time, the pharaohs* and Re (ray), the sun god, connected. They were god-kings in this way.
 * The ancient Egyptians also believed that the Nile's floods and, following that, the harvests were provided by the rulers.
 * All pharaohs* had absolute power*. Whatever they said had to be done because their decision was law.
 * Egypt's future rested on the pharaoh's* strength.

<span style="display: block; color: rgb(224,41,114); text-align: center;">   An official of ancient Egypt once said:               "He is the god Re whose beams enable us to see.       He gives more light to the Two Lands than the sun's disc.       He makes Earth more green than the Nile in flood.       He has filled the Two Lands with strength and life." <span style="display: block; color: rgb(19,128,236); text-align: center;">   <span style="display: block; color: rgb(73,181,223); text-align: center;">**// Cleopatra VII was the last pharaoh*. //** [|**Brainpop Video**] To Log In: Username is eyerms and password is brainpop <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
