From Dynasty to Dynasty 

The history of Ancient Egypt is divided into 31 dynasties, from about 3100 BC until 332 BC. It is divided into 3 major periods, called kingdoms. They are the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom. The rare gaps between the kingdoms were times of wars, invasions, or weak rulers. Pharaohs' rule was mostly stable during ancient Egypt.

All Powerful Pharaohs 

The pharaohs had absolute power, or complete control over their people. For help in making decisions, they could turn to their advisors or appeal to Ma'at, the goddess of truth. In the end whatever the pharaoh decided became the law. For example, he decided when the fields would be planted, and demanded a part of the harvest.

Ancient Egyptians believed that their pharaohs were the earthly form of Horus, the falcon God. Over time, pharaohs became connected with other gods, like the sun god Re (rey). In this way, the pharaohs became god-kings. Egyptians believed the pharaohs provided them with the yearly floods and harvests.
