I need help on an Ancient History assignment the topic is "Egypt's greatest achievements were a result of the monarchial state, it was an expression of ancient Egyptian civilisation."
 
I cant seem to find much on that topic.

Do you have to argue that point or is that th eone your picking?  You could talk about how all of Egypt being centered in a river valley making it easier for the monarchy to control its people and restrict the power of minor nobles and aristocracy.  Egypt also has a perfect setting alowing the exchange of ideas with other civilizations but through narrow channels thus giving the king a much easier time of taxing trade.
 
Especially talk about Ramses II (the great) as an example of state propoganda.  he said he won the battle of Qadesh (it was a draw) and he and every other pharoah claimed godhood and obedience from them.  One of the reasons people though Ramses was so great was that he SAIS he was great.  Ingenious.
