CHAPTER XXIII
readx;? In the latter part of the Eighteenth Dynasty, the struggle for supreme power in the state became increasingly fierce, and the influence of religious leaders increased, seriously threatening the power and rule of the pharaohs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Due to the increase in religious influence, Pharaoh Amenhotep IV (later renamed Akenaton) tried to change the Egyptian faith to be monotheistic Archchurch (worshipping only the sun god Aten), but the pharaohs who succeeded him after his death, especially Tutankhamun, reverted to the traditional religion and pharaonic rule in Egypt.
Amos I-I, reigned: 25 years, 1585-1560 BC.
Amos means "son of the moon god". His royal title is Nebuphthira, a name associated with the Egyptian sun god Ra.
In 1585, after the death of King Camos of the 17th Dynasty, because he left no heirs, Amos I, the second son of Sekanenla-Tao and the younger brother of Camos, inherited the throne of Egypt and was the first pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt.
Due to his young age, he was regent by his mother, Ahotab I-i, who, after the death of Camos, continued to fight against the Hyksos until Tao's second son, Amos I, grew up, and then returned to Amos I.
In 1579 BC, the Sixteenth Dynasty of Egypt was destroyed by the Fifteenth Dynasty (Hyksos), the city of Thebes was controlled by the Seventeenth Dynasty, and Upper Egypt was controlled by Amos I.
In 1567, eighteen years after the reign of Amos I, Amos I captured Avarius, destroyed the Hyksos dynasty, and expelled the Hyksos from Egypt.
Amos made several expeditions to Nubia during his reign, thus restoring Egypt's traditional control over the region.
The queen of Amos is Amos Nefiltari, the eldest son of Amos, Amos Sepal, who originally served as a **** and co-ruled with Amos in his later years, but died before Amos died. So Amos's second son, Amenhotep, was able to become the new ****.
Amenhotab I-1, reigned: 21 years, 1560-1539 BC.
Amenkhotab means "servant of the god Amun". The title is Jesekara, a name associated with the Egyptian sun god Ra. Also known as Amenophis.
In 1560 BC, Amos' son Amenhotep I succeeded to the throne of Egypt and was the second pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
In the early years of Amenhotep I's reign, Libya in the west invaded and was quickly repulsed.
Amenhotep I launched a massive expedition to Nubia to continue the restoration of Egypt's traditional power there.
As the heirs after the death of Amenhotep I. The throne was succeeded by his military commander, Thutmose I.
Thutmose I-I, reign: 12 years, 1539-1527 BC.
Thutmose means "son of Thoth." The title is Akperkara, which means "the great sun god Ra".
In 1539 BC, Thutmose I succeeded to the throne of Egypt and was the third pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
After the death of Amenhoteb I, there were no descendants, and his position as pharaoh was not inherited by a man of royal blood, but by the military chief Thutmose I.
Thutmose I was not the rightful heir, he came from humble beginnings, and in order to legitimize his rule, he married Amos I's daughter and brother-in-law, Princess Amos.
Despite his relatively short reign, Thutmose I's achievements in foreign policy were remarkable.
He inherited a well-organized army from his father-in-law, pacified Lower Nubia, demarcating the southern border of Egypt in the area of the Third Falls on the territory of Lower Nubia.
His ambition was to conquer Asia and make Egypt the most important power of the time.
He expanded into Syria and Palestine in Asia.
The traditional kingdom of Egypt, during its reign, really developed into the Egyptian Empire. Thutmose I is generally considered to be the true founder of the most glorious Eighteenth Dynasty in Egyptian history.
Thutmose I ordered the architect Aynani to renovate and expand the temple of Amun at Karnak, building a huge palace with stone pillars between the two towers. In front of the gate of the tower stand two obelisk towers, one of which has been preserved to this day. The obelisk tower belonging to his daughter Hasaysup stands to the north of the obelisk of Thutmose I.
The queen of Thutmose I, who is nameless, gave birth to a concubine, Hatshepsut, and a concubine, Mtenofret, who gave birth to a concubine, Thutmose II.
When Thutmose I died, he passed the throne to Thutmose II.
Thutmose I instructed his architect Ainani to build a tomb for him in Thebes, the first tomb to be built in the Valley of the Kings Necropolis during the New Dynasty. But the mummy of Thutmose I was later moved to another tomb.
Trotmose II, reigned 13 years, 1527-1514 BC.
In 1527 BC, Thutmose II, the son of Thutmose I, succeeded to the throne of Egypt and was the fourth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
Hatshepsut was the only concubine between Thutmose I and Queen Amos, the half-sister and wife of Thutmose II, and the stepmother of Thutmose III. She was the granddaughter of Amenhotep I.
She has been smart and clever since she was a child, bold and strong, and knows the art of power. She often took pride in being the only legitimate heir to Pharaoh and dreamed of one day ruling mighty Egypt.
Soon after Thutmose II succeeded to the throne, Thutmose II, who was not the eldest son, married his half-sister and Thutmose I's daughter, Hatshepsut, in order to purify his royal blood and ensure that he was in a more legitimate position in the competition with other members of the royal family.
During the reign of Thutmose II, Egypt continued its conquests with its neighbors and suppressed the Nubian uprisings against Egyptian rule.
Thutmose II was frail and sickly and had no intention of governing the country.
Soon after his accession to the throne, power fell to Queen Hatshepsut.
Thutmose II died of illness thirteen years later.
