I’ve been thinking about how ancient Egypt fell

For a few months now, I've been listening to the Egyptian History Podcast, and reading Toby Wilkinson's book on the rise and fall of ancient Egypt.  I thought to myself, why is ancient Egypt, which lasted from 3000BC to about 30BC, no longer a great civilization?  What was it about ancient Egypt that led to …
