To understand ancient Egypt’s unification one would have to acknowledge the importance of the general concept of unification itself. The unification of Upper and Lower Egypt was not, like many modern societies, based on a few political decisions. Egypt’s unification was a significant moment in ancient Egyptian history. It was also a crucial event that launched Egypt into one of the most powerful ancient empires.
So the best any empire could do was to establish regional hegemony. During this time period, China was the richest and most powerful of all, and extended its reach over most of Asia. 1 Tang & Song China THE "GOLDEN ERA" OF THE TANG AND SONG During the period after the fall of the Han Dynasty in the 3rd century C.E., China went into a time of chaos, following the established pattern of dynastic cycles.

The landscape is very different in these areas, so even before we arrived, the division of industry was already set in stone. Triangular trade is another cause of the Civil War. This involved the trade of slaves to the southern colonies and slavery was a big cause of the Civil War. This also occurred farther back in American history. The Civil War’s causes can be traced back for years and all of U.S. history had been building up to that war.
Although there is evidence of early Sumerian contact with the Egyptians, Egypt's civilization was largely self-generated and its history and cultural patterns differed from Mesopotamia. The early Dynastic Period was Egypt’s era of initial unification and state building under the guidelines of its first three royal dynasties. In the years between 2660 and 2180 B. C. the basic marks of the cultures of Egypt arose. Egypt was one kingdom and it was divided into provinces, or the names of provinces. Ruling over the kingdom was a pharaoh, who was not only a king but was also seen as a god.
When Europe finally emerged out of the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, Europeans despised everything about the Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages, queens and kings were decided by “divine power” which opposes the notion of rulership in Machiavelli’s The Prince. Erasmus, another key player in the Renaissance, once stated, “Men are made, not born” which totally contradicts the idea of divine power. Another new idea Machiavelli developed in The Prince that goes against Middle age thought was to use soldiers that one possesses in their state, instead of using mercenaries or auxiliary soldiers. In the Renaissance, the humility of the Middle Ages was completely thrown out, only to be replaced with people wearing extravagant clothing and consuming themselves in their image.

Ancient Greek sculpture Ancient Greek sculpture represents one of the most influential artistic movements in the history of art. The statues created by the ancient Greeks in the Classical and Hellenistic era (During the Hellenistic era we see people of all ages in Greek sculpture, Hellenistic Sculpture: 323-30 B.C. ) provided the foundation not only for Roman sculpture, but also for western sculpture as we know it today. Greek sculpture was of remarkably rapid growth, developing under conditions which are not generally believed to be favorable. Few countries ever underwent such rapid changes as Greece, for the suddenness with which the Mycenaean civilization was swept away, perhaps by the Dorians, is unequalled in history.
Starting at around 3000 BC after the two lands, Upper and Lower Egypt, became one with King Menes uniting the two regions. The Pharaonic period brought about the era of kings of kings, gods, rulers of all of Egypt and lasted all they way until the late period in 332 AD. Pharaohs were seen as gods in human form and along with the role of king, they had to assume the role of a god. The Pharaonic era reigned through the Old Kingdom (2649BC-2150BC), the Middle Kingdom (2100BC-1759BC) and the New Kingdom (1550-1070BC) with many intermediate periods in between.
