The New Kingdom is probably among the best periods in my opinion. They survived the mysterious sea people. Ancient Egypt was the last one standing against them and without the Ancients of Egypt, the Egyptians we would know next to nothing or very little about this time period. The fact we today know about this dark period goes to show the New Kingdom is the pinnacle of the civilization. It is at the top of the conversion about great eras of any civilization.

The late period. It is like a medieval themed ancient period with everyone putting their greatness behind their backs and slaughtering each other both inside and outside Egypt.

All dynasties are connected in one way or another so each is important. Transition between these eras needs to be recorded and studied. Every bit of knowledge must be put in place to better understand history.

My favorite is the strongest dynasties of every Kingdoms. However the best is the 12th and 18th dynasty it's because these two dynasties made such a strong empire that nobody can attack. Additionally I had to take out 19th dynasty aka the Ramesside period because after Merenptah the empire's power was lost because of the family feu :(

Dynasty 12 , was the beginning of the exploitation of the fyune. It made Egypt a breadbasket. The reign of Sesostris III was my favorite.

I'd go for the third Dynasty, with Zoser, whom laid the social and legal structure for Egyptians to prosper. Nonetheless, I also say that every period contributed to the prosperity and greatness of ancient Egypt one way or another. Finally, I'm taking a screenshot of your summary, which I consider the most interesting part of your post.

Vth dynasty in the old Kingdom saw an evolution in the theocratic conception of the monarchy, a process that dated back to the IIIrd and prosecuted into the IVth. The XIth dynasty saw the refoundation of the Egyptian state and laid the basis for the prosper and strong XIIth dynasty, considered among the Egyptians as a classical period. The XVIIIth dynasty was to be the apogee of the Egyptian state, characterized by internal prosperity and external expansion probably reaching the Euphrates River though at the end of the period some issues in foreign relations had to be fixed by Horemheb. His reign signed the transition to the militarist XIXth dynasty because he had no male heirs and so his vizier Paramessu was to become Pharaoh under the name of Ramesse I. After the long reign of Ramesse the II and the reign of his 13th heir Merenptah there was some civil unrest and turmoil probably due to a dynastic conflict regarding Sethi II, Amenmose and Siptah (considered illegitimate) and there's the important figure of chancellor Bay, the Egyptians "kingmaker" (executed in year 4 of Siptah). At the end of the brief reign of queen Twosret there were maybe some years of confusion (or at least the Harris papyrus seems to indicate that) until Sethnakt founded the XXth dynasty and re-established order. His son Ramses III can be considered the last great sovereign of Egypt. From the reign of his successors on the authority of the monarchy decreased significantly because of the great power gained by the clergy of Amun that was to become ereditary as the case of Ramessenakht and Nebmaatranakht and Amenhotep shows clearly. The New Kingdom ended in chaos and economic unrest (royal burials were systematically dismantled in an effort to gain valuable resources though they were plundered earlier during the end of the dynasty). I have no more to add. I consider the Third Intermediate Period interesting (especially the dynasties XXIst 'til the XVth) quite interesting but I wouldn't go any further since I consider the other periods after the Assyrian Invasion some kind of dark age (I know it's a wrong definition but I don't like that part of Egyptian history)
