- Pharaohs buried in pyramids
- Pharaohs where god-like
- Spent LOTS of money on building pyramids
- Tombs built were easy to rob
Middle Kingdom (c. 2055 – c. 1650 BCE)
- Pharaohs buried in many different places
- Built hidden tombs
- Created powerful army for defense
- Time of expansion
- Golden age (often considered as a time of resurgence and cultural achievement)
New Kingdom (c. 1550 – c. 1070 BCE)
- Ramses the Great was a ruler (often associated with this period)
- Conquered other areas
- Great Sphinx built (though the Sphinx predates this period, its significance was established during the New Kingdom)
- Pharaohs buried in the Valley of the Kings
- Pharaohs were wise and good rulers
