Did you know that it was during the New Kingdom period that ancient Egyptian kings started calling themselves "pharaohs?" Previously, they were simply referred to as kings. But the fact that we call all of them pharaohs today speaks about how important and influential the New Kingdom was. It is also the most researched period of ancient Egyptian history because it has an abundance of surviving evidence. This is also the time when some of the best-known pharaohs ruled, such as Ahmose, Hatshepsut, Thutmose, Nefertiti, and Ramses II. In this book, you will find everything you need to know about these kings and queens of old. Learn who united Egypt and started the Eighteenth Dynasty. Flip the pages and find out: Who were the Hyksos, and why did Ahmose I expel them from Egypt? How powerful were the women of the Eighteenth Dynasty? Why was Amenhotep I worshiped as a god? How did a woman named Hatshepsut become a pharaoh? Why did Egypt strive to conquer the Levant? Why did Akhenaten and Nefertiti abandon the old religion and start monotheism in ancient Egypt? Why did "Boy King" Tutankhamun bring back the old gods? Why were so many kings named Ramses? Why is Ramses II one of the greatest pharaohs who ever reigned? How did the priests of Amun usurp the throne? Why did the New Kingdom come to an end? Scroll up and click the "add to cart" button to learn more about the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt!

*Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts of the New Kingdom *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world's first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world. With world-famous leaders like King Tut and Cleopatra, it's no wonder that today's world has so many Egyptologists. What makes the accomplishments of the Ancient Egyptians all the more remarkable is that Egypt was historically a place of great political turbulence. Its position made it both valuable and vulnerable to tribes across the Mediterranean and the Middle East, and Ancient Egypt had no shortage of its own internecine warfare. Its most famous conquerors would come from Europe, with Alexander the Great laying the groundwork for the Hellenic Ptolemy line and the Romans extinguishing that line after defeating Cleopatra and driving her to suicide. Among all the periods in ancient Egyptian history, the New Kingdom (ca. 1550-1050 BCEE) is perhaps the best known among non-specialists and Egyptologists alike. The reasons for wide-ranging modern knowledge of the New Kingdom are many and include a wealth of extant written materials, several well-preserved temples, and numerous larger-than-life kings and other personalities. In terms of literature, the New Kingdom not only boasts the most extant texts that have been translated and studied by modern scholars, but also a number of texts originally produced during earlier periods of Egyptian history that were copied during the New Kingdom. The texts span several genres including religion, historiography, bureaucracy, and diplomacy, which have all helped Egyptologists reconstruct the chronology, religious practices, and daily lives of Egyptians during the New Kingdom. Many of the texts were inscribed on the walls of some of Egypt's greatest temples such as Medinet Habu, Luxor, and most impressive of all, Karnak. The abundance of literature written and temples constructed during the New Kingdom was the direct result of Egypt's growing influence in the Near East during the late Bronze Age. By the time of Egypt's Nineteenth Dynasty, the Egyptians had created a vast empire that stretched from what would be the modern region of northern Sudan in the south to southern Syria in the north (Kuhrt 2010, 1:185). With control of such a vast empire, the Egyptians were able to export valuable minerals such as gold and silver, which were much rarer in the other Near Eastern kingdoms, and imported horses, timber, and chariots that they used to build their impressive military. A chronological examination of ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom reveals the process in which Egypt transitioned from a regional kingdom to an international empire. The examination will demonstrate that the New Kingdom was a fairly complex system that brought about several changes in pharaonic culture before ultimately collapsing. The New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt: The History and Legacy of the Egyptian Empire at the Peak of Its Power chronicles the tumultuous history of Egypt late in the second millennium BCE. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about the New Kingdom like never before.

Much of the literature on ancient Egypt centers on pharaohs or on elite conceptions of the afterlife. This scintillating book examines how ordinary ancient Egyptians lived their lives. Drawing on the remarkably rich and detailed archaeological, iconographic, and textual evidence from some 450 years of the New Kingdom, as well as recent theoretical innovations from several fields, it reconstructs private and social life from birth to death. The result is a meaningful portrait composed of individual biographies, communities, and landscapes. Structured according to the cycles of life, the book relies on categories that the ancient Egyptians themselves used to make sense of their lives. Lynn Meskell gracefully sifts the evidence to reveal Egyptian domestic arrangements, social and family dynamics, sexuality, emotional experience, and attitudes toward the cadences of human life. She discusses how the Egyptians of the New Kingdom constituted and experienced self, kinship, life stages, reproduction, and social organization. And she examines their creation of communities and the material conditions in which they lived. Also included is neglected information on the formation of locality and the construction of gender and sexual identity and new evidence from the mortuary record, including important new data on the burial of children. Throughout, Meskell is careful to highlight differences among ancient Egyptians--the ways, for instance, that ethnicity, marital status, age, gender, and occupation patterned their experiences. Readers will come away from this book with new insights on how life may have been experienced and conceived of by ancient Egyptians in all their variety. This makes Private Life in New Kingdom Egypt unique in Egyptology and fascinating to read.

The "Gold of Honour" is a prestigious reward, mainly in the form of gold collars, which ancient Egyptian officials received from their king. The study analyses the archaeological, iconographic and inscriptional evidence for the reward in the New Kingdom. It explores the reasons why the officials were honoured and how the kings distributed their favours. The Gold of Honour emerges as a status symbol of king-centred, as opposed to role-based, ranking in society.

The 18th, 19th, and first 20th Dynasties guided Egypt to its climax of power. Still, throughout the latter portion of the 20th Dynasty (identified as the Ramessid Age), that influence began to decline as the priests of Amun obtained more unimaginable resources and authority, and the situation of the pharaohs depreciated. The temple's capacity can best recognize the Cult of Amun's capability to the God at Karnak, which each new Kingdom leader added to. By the New Kingdom's conclusion, over 80,000 priests were contracted by the temple at Thebes solely, not including other cities in multiple regions. The most important of these ministers were more valuable and controlled more land than the pharaoh.

Expertly taking readers through one of the most transformative periods in Ancient Egypt, Robert Morkot demonstrates how, under the pharaohs of the New Kingdom (c. 1550-1070 BCE), Egypt rose to be the largest and most dominant state of the Late Bronze Age world of western Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. Morkot deftly analyses key aspects of the New Kingdom Era - covering the production of some of Egypt's most spectacular monuments, such as the Tombs in the Valley of the Kings - and analysing the political careers of some of its most renowned rules: the female pharaoh, Hatshepsut; the empire builder, Thutmose III; the still-controversial religious reformer, Akhenaten; Tutankhamun, and Ramesses II. Morkot also offers readers a wider outlook, examining how the globalisation of the Late Bronze Age brought numerous changes in warfare, resulting in the creation of an empire and sphere of influence that spread up the Nile valley and into the Levant and Syria. The volume explores how Egypt maintained its position through the wealth of its Nilotic empire, with gold from the deserts of Egypt and Nubia, and incense, ivory and ebony from longer-distance trade with neighbouring kingdoms of north-east Africa. With Egypt's wide-ranging networks stretching from the Aegean to Babylon, and from Anatolia to the Red Sea coast, Morkot highlights how these close contacts brought numerous influences in art and religion to Egypt, but how politically the interconnections ultimately brought the entire region to the point of collapse.
