Introduction to Ancient egypt In the 21st century historians still study this civilization today, and are finding out new and baffling discoveries. They still bother to do this not just because it’s oh so interesting, but because we can learn about people's daily life and how we got to our current society along with possibly even learning from their mistakes and their achievements. We have learned an abundance about Egypt’s contributions, culture, and social structure. For starters, ancient Egypt was a city of three different kingdoms. These consisted of the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom. Old kingdom existed from 2700 to 2200 B.C.E. During this particular period of time had a very strong and effective government, and Egypt built many great pyramids. So many that this time is called “The Age Of The Pyramids”. The Middle Kingdom existed from about 2000 to 1800 B.C.E; It managed to make great achievements in literature and art, such as various architectures. Existing from 1600 to 1100 B.C.E, the New Kingdom, or as it is more commonly known as Egypt's “Golden Age”. The “Golden Age” is so widely known by this name because it existed in peace and stability. Also, it was a “Golden Age” in history due to the power reaching its greatest height around then. This power came from the increase in trade which allowed for a rapid production of the building of monuments.
