  • What Are The Cultural Changes During The Reign Of Senwosret III

    Prior to his rule, Upper Egyptian nomarchs built monumental tombs for themselves. However, they soon cease to be built around the time of Senwosret III’s reign. Although it is not clear why this downward trend occurred, it may reflect a decrease in the power of the regional nomarchs and an increase in power for the pharaoh and the centralized bureaucracy. Since the nomarchs had authority and may have posed as a threat to the royal house, Senwosret III may have managed to strip them of their power during his reign. This change in the political climate is reflected in the lack of nomarch tombs during this time because the nomarchs no longer had the wealth and power to build elaborate tombs for themselves.

    The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of texts that were found in eleven caves. They were discovered near the Dead Sea between 1946 and 1956 by Bedouin shepherds and archeologists (Vanderkam, Flint, 2002). There are many different versions of the story and details diverge from one story to another, but there is one version that I found most common in my research. Three men from the tribe of Bedouin named Khalil Musa, Jum’a Muhammad Khalil, and Muhammad Ahmed el-Hamed were tending to their flocks of sheep and goats in the region of Ain Feshka on the northwestern side of the Dead Sea (Lim, 2005). They were looking for a goat who had gone astray and were throwing rocks into the openings to try and find it.
