The pharaohs of the New Kingdom were the most powerful pharaohs of ancient Egypt because Ramses II was the most successful pharaoh, they gained control through conquest, and they developed relations. In Chapter 5, lesson 3 of “Discovering our Past: A History of our World” (our social studies textbook) it states “Ramses conquered the region of Canaan and moved north into Syria. To get this territory, he fought the Hittites”. This proves that Ramses II (also known as “Ramses the Great”), was very powerful, for the Hittites were smart and very hard to beat. “The Hittites were among the first people to master ironworking.

For example in the book Pharaohs and Dynasties by Kristine Carlson, she stated that a pharaoh had many wives but only one was the great wife. The son would then become the next pharaoh, and that’s how dynasties start. If the great wife gave birth to a girl then she would be the next great wife. The way they can end is if a certain dynasty goes into civil war or somebody dies. There have been over thirty Dynasties in Egypt.
After Amenhotep IV or Akhenaton died, his son Tutankhamen became pharaoh. Tutankhamen's short rule ended after only nine years when he died unexpectedly. It is now a mystery on how King Tut died. What is more fascinating is that when some people opened Tut's Tomb, there was nothing stolen from the tomb. Other pharaoh tombs' jewelry and important objects are stolen by grave robbers, but not King Tut's tomb when they opened it in 1922.
Hellum argues that the symbols and stories are not meant to be taken at face value but rather, they are a way for explaining vague ideas to the population. A central argument to the article is that myths and symbols within the Pyramid Texts are enlisted to drive home the idea that the pharaoh is a figure of divinity that can communicate and take on the abilities of the gods. The article claims that the godly status of the pharaoh has a direct effect on the context and message of the Pyramid Texts. There is an additional point that the Pharaohs divinity was used to realize political and religious authority in the Old Kingdom period. The article sources the Pyramid Text and other Egyptian texts along with archaeological evidence to back up its positions effectively.

The egyptians had felt that whatever was buried with, in, or around their tomb would be brought with them when they died.

King Tut’s tomb is the first and for now the only tomb that has never been robbed and the body is in a “good” condition that allows scientists to do DNA testing and also allows them to find more answers on how the young King died. Katie Moisse adds futher insight on what the study on Tut’s mummy gave the scientis: In 2005 Hawass performed a computed tomography (CT) scan to determine the cause of the boy pharaoh’s death. The scan revealed a fractured femur, which could have caused death from infection or from a blood cloth.
The Cursed Dynasty The House of Atreus, also known as the the cursed dynasty, is cursed with violence and war. The root of the curse began with Tantalus, who fed his own son, Pelops’, flesh to the olympians, and is condemned by the gods to starve in Hades. Later on in the history we see that Atreus and Thyestes, sons of Pelops, went to ‘war’ for similar cause. Thyestes seduced Atreus’ wife and attempted to seize power from him. Atreus then banished him.
The Peek & Fall of Egypt In retrospect, Egypt was a great and powerful nation. It was led by pharaohs, who were radically egocentric; they prolifically built statues to venerate themselves to others. First of all, the reason I am bring pharaohs into the equation, is because someone who is very wise once said, “In order to know a nation, you must first know the ruler.” In addition, whenever a nation is at its best, it’s usually due to strong leadership.
