**Egypt:**
Ancient Egypt has been divided into 8 or 9 periods, sometimes called kingdoms. The egyptians didn't really group their leaders according to such criteria. They developed the notion of dynasties throughout their history. The Palermo Stone just lists the kings in order of when they ruled. The Turin Kinglist lists them from when they died and their origins. The Turin Kinglist is more recent, and people prefer it more. In Egypt they started to form a civilization around 3,800 B.C.E. Farmers started producing surplus crops that allowed others to work less on farming and more on other stuff, like mercantilism and craft work. Artisans created copper tools like chisels and needles which were all very new inventions. They used these new tools to help them make ornamental jewelry. Artisans also found out how to make bronze by mixing copper and tin, which began the Bronze Age.
