The New Kingdom

The New Kingdom was a period in ancient Egyptian history that lasted from about 1550 to 1070 BCE. It is characterized by a resurgence in power, wealth, and cultural achievements. This era saw the expansion of the Egyptian empire into regions like Nubia and the Levant, as well as remarkable developments in art, architecture, and religion. Famous pharaohs such as Ramses II and Hatshepsut emerged during this time, leaving behind monumental temples and tombs. The New Kingdom ended with invasions and internal strife, marking a significant decline in Egypt's power and influence.
