Short reigns and a lack of major building projects betray the beginnings of Egypt's long slide from greatness.

In this lesson, we will see just how old "old" is. The basic divisions of prehistory will be discussed, and each category will be defined and its specific characteristics delineated. Once these categories are clear, we will discuss the difficulties of studying a prehistoric civilization.

Ancient Egypt is the only civilization in history to have been eFilmclipsed twice and bounced back to prominence on both occasions. Dynasties XIII through XVII saw the Middle Kingdom's decline, the advent of foreign rule, and finally, the expulsion of the Hyksos by a heroic prince of Thebes and his two sons at the end of Dynasty XVII.

What distinguishes mythology, religion, and philosophy from one another? What role did each play in the lives of the ancient Egyptians?
