1,000 - 0 BC

Answer 1

The correct answer is - 3000-2000 BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fundamental pattern of Ancient Egyptian governance was set in Egypt between 3150 - 2890 BC with the First Dynasty of Egypt. It resembled a theocratic monarchy where the king ruled and acted as a middle-man between his loyals and gods. The king was supported by vizier and other governmental officials. Kingdom was divided into districts (nomes) and was administered by nomarchs (regional governors) who oversaw all operations in nomes.

Although Egypt fits into this time-span, Sumerians are credited for the invention of government around 3500BC. Sumerians form of government was a mix of democracy and monarchy, where each city-state was ruled by king for the gods.
