During the ancient Egypt 12 dynasty, the national strength of ancient Egypt was relatively strong. The king not only consolidated his domestic rule, but also launched a war of conquest abroad, greatly expanding the territory of southern ancient Egypt. However, at the end of the 12 dynasty, the invasion of Hyksos broke the upward development trend of ancient Egypt and established the rule of ancient Egyptians here.
17 Dynasty, King Kamath of South Thebes led the ancient Egyptians to overthrow the regime established by Hixos and restore their status. Since then, ancient Egypt has entered the new kingdom period, which is also the most brilliant and prosperous period in ancient Egyptian history.

From the end of the 12 dynasty, ancient Egypt turned from prosperity to decline and was conquered by Xixos.
The history of ancient Egypt is different from that of other countries. Because dynasties change quickly, in order to distinguish them easily, historians nowadays use numerical codes to distinguish their own dynasties, such as 0 dynasty, 1 dynasty, 2 dynasty and so on. Throughout the history of ancient Egypt, there were 33 dynasties.
By 30 BC, Rome had conquered the 32nd dynasty of ancient Egypt and declared the demise of ancient Egypt. Although the concept of state in ancient Egypt no longer exists, ancient Egyptian civilization still exists. It was not until 639 AD that the Arab Empire islamized ancient Egypt that it officially declared that ancient Egyptian civilization had completely disappeared in the long river of history.

It should also be mentioned that before ancient Egypt entered the 18 dynasty, the word Pharaoh was not directly related to the king of ancient Egypt, but referred to the palace where the king lived. After the 18 dynasty, there were examples of using the old name to call the king, so it is not rigorous to simply call the king of ancient Egypt Pharaoh.
