To put Egypt into perspective, it’s important to start out by realizing that the various kingdoms of Egypt lasted for about 3,000 years. Its only real peer is the Elamite (southern Iran) Dynasties, that also lasted about that long.

Compare this to the historical Chinese kingdoms, at about 2100 years, the Roman Empire for 1500 years, British kings at about 1000 years
