During the reigns of these two dynasties, Egypt witnessed a complete renaissance in all aspects of economic and social life, and enjoyed a great deal of stability. This was reflected in the lifestyle, as public gardens and parks proliferated, and the rulers showed greater concern for the interests of their citizens, even personally listening to people's grievances. Hospitals expanded, and artists and writers flourished. They lived in an environment that enabled them to produce great art. All of this placed Egypt in a position among other nations with which they sought to establish good relations. This book explains, in a simple way, the political circumstances surrounding the rise and fall of each dynasty: who the founder was, who their successors were, how each ruled, and how they were overthrown. The book also describes the capitals of the two dynasties and recounts short stories from those periods to reinforce the descriptions.
