History of ancient Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3904 words) |
| Egyptian history is broken into several different periods according to the dynasty of the ruling pharaoh. |
| The 13th Dynasty is often considered part of the Middle Kingdom, although the period seems to be a time confusion and of migration into Egypt by a mysterious people known as the Hyksos, who took advantage of the political instabilities of the Nile Delta to take control of it and later extend their powers south. |
| The 13th Dynasty, and later the 14th dynasty, continued to rule from either Itjtaway or Thebes, but their control over the rest of Egypt gradually ebbed away. |
