In his famous book "The Ancient Egyptian Art - The One Hundred Book" (1990), Cyril Aldred emphasizes that "the world of Maniton, the chief priest of Heliopolis in the third century BC, commissioned by King Ptolemy I to write the history of Egypt, Since the unification of Lower and Upper Egypt under the rule of Mina, the first Pharaohs, until the invasion of Alexander of Egypt in 332 BC - to thirty-one families Although the history of Maniton did not reach us, but the list prepared by the names of kings and their years of custody, The calendars of the early Christians are also quoted by contemporary historians as Ma Nasabhm, and accept the way Mantyon numbering Dynastic, because it has apparently according to a very old tradition. Pharaohs also investigated the names of the Greek business available). Maniton was an Egyptian priest in the temple of Samannoud. He was one of the most famous priests of the history of his country. He was the most knowledgeable of the origins and origin of the Egyptian faiths and the most knowledgeable of the Egyptian language. Ptolemy I assigned him, and the second is also said, to write the history of Egypt, so he drew his sources from what was in the temples and government departments of documents. Unfortunately, the history of the original Maniton was lost during the fire of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and we received only extracts from that date. The historian Joseph (Oyossefus) passed on to him what he wrote (Abion), in which the Jews threw many defects and defects. Kings and families divided into thirty families.

 Many Egyptian scientists assert that Egypt's advanced history on the first millennium BC is not agreed upon, especially in the more distant periods and turbulence. Modern historians, however, have re-categorized the thirty-one families, defined by Maniton, for longer periods of time called ages, each of which has a distinctly civilized pattern, separated by uncertain periods of political instability.
These are sometimes divided into a political division. In the modern state, the nineteenth and twentieth families are referred to Ramses to designate most of their kings by this name. The period of the reign of Akhenaten (1356-1339 BC) is known as the Amarna period, compared to the hill of Amarna, which Akhenaten had taken as the capital of his rule. In the Late Period, the twenty-seventh and thirty-first centuries are also called the Persian era, in relation to the rulers who invaded Egypt and annexed it to their empire. But whatever the nature of the division of Egypt's ancient history, it is until the writing of history
(Maniton), within 280 BC. It extends over 3168 BC. Nearly five thousand and four hundred and fifty years. When we talk about ancient Egypt, we mean (Pharaonic Egypt), which brings us to more than three thousand and five hundred years BC. Almost.
