Ancient Egypt had a very long history — over 3,000 years of pharaonic rule. Historians estimate that around 170 to 200 pharaohs ruled Egypt, depending on how you count co-rulers, short reigns, and disputed kings. 👑 Here’s the breakdown: • Early Dynastic Period (c. 3100–2686 BCE) → about 10 pharaohs • Old Kingdom (2686–2181 BCE) → about 30 pharaohs (includes pyramid builders like Djoser, Sneferu, Khufu) • Middle Kingdom (2055–1650 BCE) → about 15 pharaohs • New Kingdom (1550–1077 BCE) → about 30
