Ancient Egypt was a civilization created in the territories of modern-day Egypt by Sith refugees after the end of the Great Hyperspace War. Its first ruler was a Sith Lord named Narmer, who adopted the title of Pharaoh, and turned it into a monarchical title. After an uncertain period of time, the Sith species had seemingly vanished, although they had simply used magic and alchemy to alter their exterior physical appearance to become equal to that of humans.
