Explanation:

Egypt's history is divided into three phases: the Old Empire; the New Empire and the Middle Empire.

During the old empire which we can also call Ancient Egypt was formed in 3150 BC by King Menes. During this period, Egyptian Culture flourished and remained distinctively Egyptian in its religion, arts, language, and customs.

During the Middle Empire, which we can also be called the Middle Kingdom, the Hyksos invaders took over Egypt founded a new capital called Avaris in 1650BC. The Hyksos lived in Egypt for about 150 years but were forced out of Egypt by the Egyptians forces led by Pharaoh. The pharaohs regained political power in Egypt and moved the capital to Thebes
