At first, there are simple village communities gradually learning the techniques of agriculture, weaving, the domestication of animals and the manufacture of stone and pottery vessels. A few large palettes and ceremonial maceheads from Nekkhen (Hierakonpolis), of the period proceding immediately the 1st dynasty (end of the fourth millennium), are carved with what seem to be semisymbolic that seem to be historical records and may represent the victory of a king of upper Egypt over northerners of the delta region. At this time the suggested capital of Egypt could be Nekheb now represented on the ruins of Al Kab.

Nekhbet goddess of Al Kab, represented the upper or southern kingdom, while Udjo (Buto) presided over the delta. The two goddesses, on form of vulture and cobra, were united in the royal diadem.

There is an archaic period that is represented by 8 kings, that are know by their tomb and their dynasty, the traditional founder of the dynasty was Mena, the Greek Menes, who had thought he united the kingdom and founded Memphis as a capital.

18 Dynasty V The epithet "new" is generally attached to this period, and "Empire" instead of "Kingdom" marks its wide conquests and organized rule aboard. It first task was to crush the power of the Hyksos in the northeast of the delta; this was fully accomplished when its founder, Ahmose, captured Avaris. He next attacked them in southern Palestine, where he captured Sharuhen after a siege of three years. He fought also in Nubia, besides overcoming factious opposition in his own land. Amenhotep I fought on Lybia and Nubia, pushing the Egyptian frontier south to the third cataract. After about 30 years of settle ruled uninterrupted by revolt, Egypt was strong enough and rich enough to indulge to the full its new taste for war and lust of conquest. It essentially became a military state, the experts say feudalism could not have survived from the Middle kingdom, Thutmose I thoroughly subdued Cush, which had already placed in order of a viceroy; his dominion now reached near Napata. Turning next to Syria, Thutmose carried his arms as far as the Euphrates. He made the first of those great additions to the temple of Theban Amon at Karnak by which the pharaohs of the mpire rendered it by far the greatest existing temple in the world. He was the first of a long line of kings to be buried in the valley of the Tombs of the Kings at Thebes.

At length a soldier, Horembebm, came to the throne as a wholehearted supporter of the old religion, and soon Aton, and the whole of his royal following suffered the fate they had imposed over Amon.

His son, Amenhotep III, was a mighty builder especially at Thebes, were his reign marks a new epoch in the history of the great temples, Luxor being hi creation, while avenues of rams, pylons and courts were added on a vast scale to Karnak.

His son Amenhotep II, an athlete of great prowess, succeeded Thutmose III if his own claims are to be believed. In this seventh year he led an army into Syria, where revolt was again rife; he reached the mount Orontes and returned 7 captive kings. Amenhotep reigened 26 years and left his throne to his son, Thutmose IV, who warred Syria and married a Mitinian princess.

The 9th and 10th dynasties of Heracleopolis Magna in the middle Egypt may have spread their rule by conquest over upper Egypt and then overthrown the Memphite dynasty.

A son by a secondary marriage, Thutmose II, succeeded as the husband of his half sister Hatshepsut; during his short reign he put down a revolt in Nubia. At his death in 1504 bC Thutmose III, his son by a concubine, was an only child, and the ambitious Hatshepsut, appointed regent, soon assumed the full regal power; upon her monuments she wears the masculine garb and aspect of a king, though the feminine gender is retained for her in the inscriptions.

The Sphinx, carved in an outcrop of rock, stands a sentinel over Khafre's causeway, a symbol of the king's might and majesty.
