"devlopment of the pharaonic state" - in other words, describe the impact of various kings/queens/viziers had on Egypt in different time periods.
Maybe don't post if you're not entire sure what you're talking about.
The Pharaonic state was, of course, the combined geographical location of the Nile Valley. This state involved the Pharaoh at the top of a hierachy, with officials below and gods above. The state was a theological state as well as a political one.
'Development' is a verb, similar to 'to grow, to expand, to increase quality of, to develop'. Hence, development of the state is the expansion and creation of the Egyptian state.
It has nothing to do with what hippo said. You have to show how the state unified, why it unified, when it unified, and the effect of all these factors. You apply these factors onto the previous (uninified) state, and show how Egypt developed.
'military excursions and campaigns - weni and sahura' - Sahure himself went on excursions to Libya, Nubia, Byblos and i think Punt (not sure about that one). I guess thats all of his military achievments .. hes very boring. Weni was a general for the army, so he went to battle quiet often. He also was the first to recruit Nubians than just Egyptians. He also become Governer, and made improvments to benefit the Military (eg digging a group of channels along the Nile at the First Cataract)
Yes, military and officials are important, but you can't just yabber on about military campaigns.
