Predynastic Egypt - Dates and Time Period
The time period covering Predynastic Egypt is 5550 BC - 3050 BC. Between 5500 and 3100 BC, during Egypt's Predynastic Period, small settlements flourished along the Nile. By 3300 BC, just before the first Egyptian dynasty, Egypt was divided into two kingdoms, known as Upper Egypt (Ta Shemau) and Lower Egypt (Ta Mehu).
Predynastic Egypt
The period of Ancient Egypt history, which includes the period of Predynastic Egypt, stretches over 3000 years and encompasses hundreds of Pharaohs. Because of this massive time span and timeline Egyptologists have divided the different historical times into Periods, Kingdoms and Dynasties: Definition of Kingdoms - Politically organized communities with a monarchical form of government headed by a King, Queen or Pharaoh Definition of Dynasties - Egyptian dynasties were families which retained political power across generations Definition of Periods - A distinct evolutionary or developmental phase, such as the period of Predynastic Egypt Definition of Intermediate Periods - The time between the end of an old period or kingdom to the start of a new period or Kingdom, allowing for possible anomalies in dates
