EGYPT'S MIDDLE AND NEW KINGDOM
EQ: What happened to Egypt during the Middle and new kingdoms? The Egyptian kingdom was taken over by the Hyksos. They took over Egypt in about 1670 bce. The Hyksos weren't much better fighters than the Egyptians. They used the same weapons but iron was very poorly made in Egypt. This may have lead to the fall of the Egyptian civilization.
2050 BCE-Middle Kingdom begins
1500 BCE-Queen Hatsheput reigns
Middle Kingdom-Egyptian time period that falls in between the "Old and New Kingdoms"; Called the "Golden Years" in Egypt
Tribute-Forced payment to a more powerful group; It made Egypt rich
Valley of the Kings-On the west bank of the Nile River; Tombs were built here for Pharaohs during the Middle Kingdom
Hyksos-This group of outsiders conquered Egypt bring the Middle Kingdom to an end in 1670 BCE
Ahmose-He drove the Hyksos out of Egypt out of Egypt in 1550 BCE; Starting the New Kingdom
Hatsheput-First female Pharoah; led Egypt as a regent and then became Pharaoh after her nephew died
Regenta- person who rules a kingdom during the reign of a child, absence, or disability of the leader.
Thutmose III-The nephew of Hatsheput; He became pharoah after her death.
Amenhotep IV-Husband of Nefertiti; Created a new religion with only one god named Aton; Egypt lost much during his rule
Tutankhamen or "King Tut"-Son-in-law of Amenhotep IV; Ruled at the age of 10; His tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in AD 1922
Ramses II-Most successful Pharaoh during the New Kingdom
1150 BCE-In this year Egyptians lost there empire.
Assyrians-In 670 BCE Egypt was taken over by what group?
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED FROM THE PAST? I learned that Pharaohs were buried with very valuable things. Many of the tombs were often robbed, only because they had riches with them. If they didn't want the tombs to be robbed they should have had guards to guard them or locks on them. SOLUTION: I know now if i i were to hide or burry something, to make sure to protect it.
Extra:
THIS IS KING TUT. KING TUT IS THE YOUNGEST KNOWN KING. HE WAS ONLY 10 WHEN HE TOOK REIGN.
