The Advancement of Egyptian Civilization Initially, ancient Egyptian civilization was quite basic. Neolithic farmers settled and built villages along the Nile River. Ancient Egyptians alternated between farming and hunting to survive. As the civilization developed, the two separate kingdoms of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt united to form one nation. The pharaoh ruled this land. At first, the pharaoh single-handedly ruled the entire country. However, the pharaoh eventually appointed a grand vizier, or the chief minister, to serve as second-in-command. The chief minister headed all the government departments and reported to the pharaoh. The government transformed into a military state with the establishment of the New Kingdom. With the advancement of ancient Egypt’s military campaigns, Nubia and Libya were conquered and added to the New Kingdom.
