Egypt
becomes a power to be reckoned with as conquests extend as
far as Syria and the Euphrates and these pharaohs are
determined never to allow Egypt to be ruled by outsiders
again. Egypt again becomes wealthy. Akhenaten, who comes
to be known as the heretic king rules during this Dynasty.
He brings Aten (sun disc god) to the forefront and
diminishes the role of the god Amun (meaning the hidden
one). The boy Tutankhamen also rules during in this era. |

A
shift in art and architecture took place – mostly devoted to
Amen or Amun – the God of Thebes through both the 19th
and the 20th Dynasties. Abu Simbel, Ramesseum,
and Karnak temples are built during this period. Trials of
the tomb robbers come forth. Tanis becomes the capital and
Thebes is under the rule of priests. |
