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

    2032 Words  | 9 Pages

    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.

    Though Carter was focused on getting inside the rest of the tomb, he noted that the doorway had been sealed three different times. These findings lead Carter to the conclusion that the tomb had been robbed in the past. Carter and other archeologists even noted that king Tut’s tomb was not decorated and did not have many of the grand features of a normal pharaoh’s tomb. Though the tomb was quickly constructed, Carter’s discoveries proved that King Tut’s tomb was the greatest ancient Egyptian tomb ever discovered (“KV62” 1).
