 Other documents useful for investigating Egyptian history are ancient lists of kings found in terse chronicles , such as the Fifth dynasty Palermo stone . These documents legitimated the contemporary pharaoh 's claim to sovereignty . Throughout ancient Egyptian history , royal decrees recounted the deeds of ruling pharaohs . For example , the Nubian pharaoh Piye ( r . 752 – 721 BC ) , founder of the Twenty @-@ fifth dynasty , had a stela erected and written in classical Middle Egyptian that describes with unusual nuances and vivid imagery his successful military campaigns .

 Egyptologist Dimitri B. Proussakov supports his theory with notations on the famous Palermo stone concerning the year events of king Nynetjer . From the twelfth year event onward , " The king of Upper- and Lower Egypt appears " was amended to " The king of Lower Egypt appears " . Proussakov sees this as a strong indication that Nynetjer 's power over Egypt had diminished . Egyptologists compare the situation to that of king Qa 'a , one of the last rulers of the First dynasty . When Qa 'a died , obscure claimants appeared and battled for the throne of Egypt . The struggles reached an apex with the plundering of the royal cemetery at Abydos , whereupon the cemetery was abandoned and Saqqara became the new royal burial site . The conflict was ended by the ascension of king Hotepsekhemwy , the founder of the Second dynasty .

 Another major funerary festival , a national event spread over several days in the month of Khoiak in the Egyptian calendar , became linked with Osiris during the Middle Kingdom . During Khoiak the djed pillar , an emblem of Osiris , was ritually raised into an upright position , symbolizing Osiris 's restoration . By Ptolemaic times ( 305 – 30 BCE ) , Khoiak also included the planting of seeds in an " Osiris bed " , a mummy @-@ shaped bed of soil , connecting the resurrection of Osiris with the seasonal growth of plants .

 Each of the episodes was based on a medieval theme — the Wars of the Roses , the Crusades and Royal succession , the conflict between the Crown and the Church , arranged marriages between monarchies , and the Plague and witchcraft . The final episode follows a planned coup d 'état .

 The final step in the formation of Egyptian religion was the unification of Egypt , in which rulers from Upper Egypt made themselves pharaohs of the entire country . These sacred kings and their subordinates assumed the exclusive right to interact with the gods , and kingship became the unifying focus of the religion .
