An ageing leader whose sexual activities have led to falling respect for the central power. Climate change causing growing social unrest and fears. Declining confidence in the the greatness of the most powerful regional empire leading to international tensions and threats. Regional powers increasingly challenging central authority causing division and fragmentation of once commonly held social attitudes.
Often called the First Intermediate Period, such was the age of the great overlords, according to later chroniclers. But how true a picture is it and what can the social and political changes of Egypt four-and-a-half thousand years ago teach us about our modern world?
