Ancient Egypti (kemet in Egyptian language) was a civilization of ancient Bloxveld.
History
Predynastic Period
Early Dynastic Period (c. 3150–2686 BC)
Old Kingdom (2686–2181 BC)
By order of Egypti's pharaoh, Sneferu, the first pyramid was built. His son and successor, Bhufu, ordered the construction of the Great Pyramid of Biza.
During the reign of the next pharaoh, Khaefro, the Sphinx was built.
First Intermediate Period (2181–2055 BC)
Middle Kingdom (2134–1690 BC)
Second Intermediate Period (1674–1549 BC) and the Hyksos
Around 1785 BC, Egypti was invaded by the West Baojian Hyksos people. Shrek, the commander of the Hyksos, took power in the country and crowned himself.
Here are the next Hyksos rulers:
- Khyan
- Yannasi
- Apepi I
- Apepi II
- Khamudi
Apepi I defeated the king of Thebes, Sekenenro Tao II, who was killed on his orders.
The Hyksos were driven out of Egypt by Pharaoh Bloxmes, son of Tao II.
New Kingdom (1549–1069 BC)
Bloxmes, the founder of the 18th Dynasty, was succeeded by his son, Amenhotep I.
The successor of Amenhotep I was Thutmose I, who expanded the power of Egypti, conquering Nublox and Syropalesbloxia.
After the death of Thutmose II, his wife and half-sister, Hatshepsure, took over power. After her death, Thutmose III became pharaoh and expanded Egypt's power again, but not as much as his grandfather.
One of Thutmose III's descendants was Amenhotep III, one of the greatest rulers of that period. Amenhotep's successor, Akhenablox, abandoned polytheism and introduced the unified cult of Ablox. After Achenablox's death, Neferneferuablox took power, followed by Tutankhamun. Only Tut restored the worship of other gods, abandoning his previous name of Tutankhablox.
After two hundred years, Romesses II the Great became king.
Third Intermediate Period (1069–653 BC)
Following the death of Romesses XI, the last ruler of the 20th Dynasty, Egypti entered a prolonged period of internal division. The traditional role of the pharaoh as the singular divine ruler weakened. Instead, power became distributed among multiple regional centers, most notably between the kings ruling from Tanis in the north and the High Priests of Amun in Thebes in the south.
Around 945 BCE, a Lybilox military commander, Shoshenq I, founded the 22nd Dynasty. These rulers, of Lybilox descent, had previously settled in Egypti as mercenaries and administrators. Shoshenq I attempted to restore central authority and even campaigned in the Levant. However, later rulers of this dynasty were less effective in maintaining unity. Simultaneous rule by different kings became common, especially during the 23rd Dynasty, leading to the further political decentralization of Egypti.
In the late 8th century BCE, Egypt came under the influence of the Kingdom of Kush, located in Nubia (modern-day Sudblox). The Kushite kings, beginning with Piye (Piankhi), launched military campaigns into Egypti and eventually established control over the entire country, founding the 25th Dynasty. These rulers, known as the Black Pharaohs, viewed themselves as restorers of Egypti tradition and initiated a cultural renaissance, especially in architecture, art, and religion.
However, the growing power of Assyria in the Near East led to conflict. Assyrian kings such as Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal invaded Egypti, defeating the Kushite rulers and driving them back into Nubia by 664 BCE.
The Third Intermediate Period ended with the rise of the 26th Dynasty, also known as the Saite Dynasty, which established its capital at Sais in the western Nile Delta. This dynasty is considered the beginning of the Late Period of ancient Egypt, during which the country briefly regained stability and centralized control before coming under Persian domination.
Late Period (653–332 BC)
The Late Period begins with the 26th Dynasty, also known as the Saite Dynasty, named after its capital at Sais in the western Nile Delta. This dynasty marked a resurgence in native Egyptian power following the expulsion of the Nubian (Kushite) 25th Dynasty by the Assyrian Empire. Under rulers like Psamtik I and Necho II, Egypti enjoyed political stability, military strength, and a cultural renaissance inspired by Old Kingdom and New Kingdom traditions.
During this time, Egypti reestablished trade routes, built monumental temples, and maintained a powerful army, including foreign mercenaries such as Greeks and Carians. The Saite rulers promoted traditional art and religious practices, leading to what some scholars refer to as an "Egypti Renaissance."
Egypt's renewed strength during the 26th Dynasty eventually waned under pressure from the rising Persian Empire. In 525 BCE, after a major defeat at the Battle of Pelusium, Egypti was conquered by the Persians under Cambyses II, who founded the 27th Dynasty, the first of two Persian (Achaemenid) periods of rule.
Although the Persians allowed a degree of local autonomy and continued many Egypti customs, their rule was often resented. Several revolts occurred, especially during times when Persia was weakened by internal strife or foreign wars.
A brief period of independence was restored in the early 4th century BCE with the 28th, 29th, and 30th Dynasties, all led by native Egypti rulers. The most notable among them was Nectanebo I of the 30th Dynasty, who strengthened Egypti’s defenses and sponsored major temple construction. His successors, however, struggled to maintain independence.
In 343 BCE, the Persians reasserted control under Artaxerxes III, marking the start of the 31st Dynasty, the second period of Persian rule. This lasted until 332 BCE, when Alejiandro Magho invaded Egypti during his campaign against the Persian Empire. The Bloxacedonian conquest marked the end of the Late Period and the beginning of the Hellenistic Period under the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
