But when we talk about ancient Egypt, we formally talk about it as a civilization around 3100, 3150 BCE. And this is where we get to our timeline right over here. So we're talking about right around there on our timeline. And the reason why this is considered the beginning of the ancient Egyptian civilization is this is when we believe that Upper and Lower Egypt were first united under the king, and there's different names used, Narmer, sometimes, or Menes, Menes. I'm going to mispronounce things every now and then, and I'm probably doing it here as well. And so he was the king that unified Upper and Lower Egypt into an empire. And the empire, as we'll see, which lasts thousands of years, every one of these spaces is 100 years, so we're gonna go over a huge time span.
