It is Ancient Egypt. They are both capitalized because you are speaking of a previous empire.

anonymous · Answer

Ancient Egypt is a proper noun because was a historical period, So i thought it should be capitalized.

Couldn't it be both depending on the context?

Agent_Sniffles and all the others are correct.  If you are specifically referring to the empire, it is Ancient Egypt.  If you are referring to the general aspects of Egypt during a time frame before history, ancient Egypt would also suffice.
