Ancient Egypt was split up into many different districts called sepats. The first divisions were created during the Predynastic Period, but then, they were small city-states that ruled themselves. When the first pharaoh came to power, the sepats remained and were much like the counties in today's England. They stayed basically the same for a very long time--there were 42 of them, and each was ruled by a governor called a nomarch. This person was put in power by the pharaoh.

Ruled by awesome god-kings called Pharaohs, ancient Egypt was a land of bustling cities, golden palaces, and huge stone monuments. This astonishing civilization endured for more than 3,000 years before it gradually vanished from the face of the earth.

The story of ancient Egypt has survived for thousands of years. Egypt was one of the greatest civilizations of the past. The monuments and tombs of their Pharaohs continue to stand intact, some 4,000 years later!
