Historians have a big problem with the chronology of ancient Egypt. The current state appears suddenly, and the subsequent one can hardly be called development, it is even a slow loss of potential. We can say that the sooner we enter the history of this country, the clearer the picture of domination will be, as if the source of this civilizational advantage was beating in an even more distant past, and the times of glory were slowly forgotten.
Researchers in the history of Ancient Egypt know little about its origins. Mainly because many historical sources have not survived. scholars rely mainly on the history of ancient historians. It is very difficult to meet the ancient history of Egypt, and some even say that it is impossible. Periodization takes place not over the years, but in dynasties.
The most important message is the work of the Egyptian priest Maneton. Unfortunately, much of this valuable document has been lost, and we are currently using quotations taken from this work and recorded in the works of much later Greek, Arab and Jewish historians. Maneton's periodization describes history, dividing it into 31 dynasties as it describes "mortals." He also mentions the dynasties of gods and demigods that must have preceded them.
At a time when the science of history, especially ancient history, is not obvious, it is also worth remembering how science divides the separate periods of Egyptian history. So we have the Early, Old, Middle, New and Late state. According to Maneton, the Early State was the period when the First and Second Dynasties ruled. He also mentions before dynastic rulers, calling them a dynasty of kings. This is a very interesting detail because Menaton must have known about it from some of the previous messages. Menaton recalls King Menes, who was supposed to unite Lower and Upper Egypt.
Even more surprising is the period of dynastic kings in Egypt, which, according to Menaton, lasted more than 24,900 years during our years. Historians have dismissed this message as incorrect. Be that as it may, the Bible has been a determining factor for a very long time, and therefore attempts have been made to include the periodization of Egypt, as if juxtaposing the information with the Holy Pentateuch.
Menaton himself was well aware of the reaction to this type of information, so he tried to make his messages about these ancient times as reliable as possible. He claimed to have received information from Egyptian scriptures 28,000 years ago. interestingly, this information is confirmed by the Jewish historian Józef Flavius, highly regarded by modern scholars.
There is so much residual information that it is difficult not to come to the conclusion that Egyptian civilization is much older than it is commonly believed. In many cases, historians prefer not to talk about this, since the recognition of this would lead to the need to rewrite the entire history of Ancient Egypt.

An excellent example of such souvenirs after this forgotten period in Egyptian history is the famous Great Pyramid, which is mistakenly believed to be a building created by Pharaoh Chu-fu, known by the Greek name Cheops. The belonging of this amazing building to Cheops is based on a single inscription found on its inner walls. It is even more surprising that the builder of the pyramid, unlike other objects of this type, did not inscribe the inscriptions so typical of other penetrating buildings.
What does it mean? That the Great Pyramid was the consummate original inspired the following Egyptian rulers who tried to emulate, more or less successfully, the patterns of the ancient past.
Evidence of this imitation is, for example, the destroyed pyramid of Dakhshur, which was created during the Fourth Dynasty. The proof is also that none of the later rulers managed to create something even slightly comparable to the monumental complex of Giza.
Perhaps someday we will see a fair study of the history of Ancient Egypt, but in order to make this possible, we must first discover all the prehistory supplanted by modern scientists, which gave rise to many civilizations on several continents. Sooner or later this day will come.
