Answer 1

The four major chronological categories of Egyptian studies, from earliest to latest, are:

1. Prehistoric Egypt (before the unification of Egypt, encompassing the Predynastic period)
2. Pharaonic Egypt (the era of the Egyptian dynasties, starting with the Early Dynastic period and continuing through to the Ptolemaic period)
3. Hellenistic Egypt (following the conquest of Alexander the Great and leading into the Roman period)
4. Roman Egypt (the period when Egypt was under Roman rule)

This sequence reflects the evolution of Egyptian civilization from its earliest beginnings to its integration into the Roman Empire.
