How many small countries were there in ancient Egypt?

In fact, ancient Egypt is very similar to ancient China. Many times it is in a unified dynasty, but there will be dynasty changes and chaos in the middle. Therefore, there are not many small countries.

Throughout the history of Egypt, academic circles generally divide it into the following periods:

1. Pre-dynasty period (about 4500 BC-3 BC100 BC)

During this period, private ownership was gradually established, classes were formed and a country began to appear. However, the country is small and has a small population. Egyptians call this country "Sput", and kingship has emerged. Archaeology found the head of scorpion kingship symbolizing kingship and the famous "Narmai Palette". According to academic speculation, Egypt may have been unified at that time.

2. Early dynasty (1-2 dynasty, about 3 BC100-2686 BC)

Menes, the first Egyptian king, established his capital in Memphis and took control of the rich delta region. These kings gradually established powerful kingship and began to control the land, labor and resources of the country. The early dynasties mainly included the first dynasty and the second dynasty.

3. The ancient kingdom period (3-6 dynasties, about 2686-2 BC181year, also known as the pyramid period).

During this period, with the rapid development of agriculture and the construction of water conservancy projects, the conditions for building giant projects appeared. At this time, Jorsell, Khufu and others built the pyramids, which is a famous symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization. In the later period of the ancient kingdom, the Pharaoh's power declined, and the first intermediate period of 140 years of turmoil began.

4. The first intermediate period (7- 10 BC, about 21865438 BC+0-2040 BC)

The central government collapsed and local rulers fought against each other.

5. Middle Kingdom period (11-0/4 dynasty, about 2040 BC-BC 1786).

1 1 Mentohe Taipu II of the dynasty unified the whole country, restored prosperity, and continued to develop art, literature and architectural engineering.

6. The second intermediate period (15-17 dynasty, about BC1786-BC 1567).

After the decline of China, Asian immigrant Hixos seized the delta and established a dynasty. Pharaoh became a vassal and moved to Thebes. Thebes under Pharaoh struggled with Hyksos in the north.

7. New Kingdom Period (about BC 18-20 Dynasty, BC 1567- BC 1085, the Egyptian Empire began to form)

Egypt achieved unprecedented prosperity during the new kingdom. The pharaohs extended Egypt's influence to Syria and Nubia. They also worshipped the sun god Amon, and then Anaton praised Atong. There is a struggle between the priests Amon and Atong. The high priest in the post-Amon era expanded his power and split the country.

8. Post-Egyptian period (2 1-3 1 dynasty, about BC 1085-332).

During this period, it was ruled by Libyans, Assyrians and Persians successively, and Egypt's status was far worse than before.

9. Macedonian Greek and Roman rule (332 BC-642 AD)

332 years ago, Alexander the Great occupied this place, and his successor Ptolemy began the Ptolemy dynasty. After Octavian defeated the Ptolemaic dynasty, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire. By 395 AD, the Roman Empire was divided into two parts, and Egypt belonged to the Eastern Roman Empire. After being occupied by Arabs in 640, it began to be Arabized.
