You know those kings wasn’t Egyptian?
I’m pretty sure it’s proven they was invaders from Morden palastine and became king of Egypt until Egyptians rebelled back and changed king to pharoah.
Which ancient civilisation interests you and why?

None, yet all, for each successive civilisation is built upon whence preceding civilisations had left off, but let us firstly define what constitutes a 'civilisation: citizen city'* from Maya to Egypt to Mesopotamia to Rome amongst others.
It is generally established a civilisation to be recognised, it must have an established ' system of government, urbanisation, a writing system, stable supply of sustenance' amongst other criterion, which rules out earlier hunter-gatherer, nomadic societies.
With that in mind, mine have always been an amalgam of the many ranging from the Egyptians to the Romans to the Muslims to the West to the budding Sino on the cusp of bursting unto the scene (not discounting its earlier contributions).
Postscript:
Greeks were apt at borrowing from other cultures, primarily from the Egyptians, incorporating, and passing it on as theirs, just like its successor, the West. Theirs was greatly advanced by the Romans, a rare occurrence where a rising empire wholly embraced another, only to replace it with its own, without diminishing the other.
Footnotes:
* Mayans (with their discovery of the 'guano' for modern farming)
Egyptians (mother of the world 'um al dunya' )
Mesopotamians (Cradle of civilisation round Tigris & Euphrates)
Romans (modern system of government, as we know it)
Chinese (first recorded system of proto-writing)
Western ( to date, with the advent of modern technology, the greatest human advancement).

A nomad with no true place
Me personally. Greco-Roman Civilization(western). Levant Civilizations. East African Civilization in general (adal or axum etc). Carthage is pretty cool.
