Abstract

The administration of the Middle Kingdom shows significant differences to that of the Old Kingdom. In the administration from the end of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom three main phases are visible. The First Intermediate Period continues traditions of the Old Kingdom; in the early Middle Kingdom from the re-unification of the country under Mentuhotep II to about the mid-Twelfth Dynasty, new titles and institutions appear at all levels of administration, but some traditions of the First Intermediate Period are still visible. In the mid-Twelfth Dynasty further new titles appear in our sources, other titles disappear. The country seems to have been fully reorganised. These new structures are in evidence till the end of the Middle Kingdom, towards the end of the Thirteenth Dynasty when the country fall apart and even beyond. Keywords:central administration; Middle Kingdom; Old Kingdom
