The First Intermediate Period of Ancient Egypt: Cities, Nomes, and Nomarchs (2151-1980 BC)

The First Intermediate Period (2151-1980 BC) in Ancient Egypt represents a time of political fragmentation and regional autonomy, marked by the rise of nomarchs, local governors of the nomes (administrative regions). This period saw the decline of centralized power challenged by dynasties 7 through 11, particularly the significant shifts seen in Dynasties 8, 9, and 10. Art from this era underwent notable changes, becoming cruder, as illustrated by funerary reliefs from sites like Dendara. Understanding these dynamics provides insight into Egypt's complex sociopolitical landscape.
