Timeline of Egyptian History
Historians divide Egyptian history into periods of stability (the kingdoms) interrupted by periods of stability (the intermediate periods). On the basis of ancient king lists, historians have also identified a series of 30 dynasties from the establishment of the Old Kingdom until the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great in 332 BC. During the periods of instability, several dynasties could co-exist, each ruling only parts of the country. |
