Ancient Egyptian Chronology (Many Wonderful Things)

The scholarly consensus for the order and date of events in the history of Egypt is known as the Conventional Egyptian Chronology. The convention divides Egypt into eras of Old, Middle, New, and Late Kingdoms, which are further subdivided between dynasty numbers. The chronology was gradually developed from the Middle Ages using both ancient and classical sources until a full and complete chronology was first proposed in the 17th century. Of course, new discoveries continue to critique the convention over time.
