Aahmes, was one of the few female pharaohs of
Egypt. There were other female pharaohs prior to

The Pharaoh Who Was Called Akhenaten A research
paper submitted to Mr. Tour in partial fulfillment

that is very close in nature to Christianity and
Judaism. His political power was not his strong

Commander In Chief Burial Chamber

King Tutankhamun lived over 3, 300 years ago
during a period known as the New Kingdom. This
period of time was called the New Kingdom because

ancient Egypt. Tutankhamun is most well known only
by the discovery of his intact tomb in 1922 by
Howard Carter and Lor...

deities, whose personalities often merge as their

in several ways. Together with those of
Mesopotamia, India, and China, it was one of the
earliest civilizations, and it is perhaps the best
example of continuous cultural evolution based on
internal stimuli, rather than the complex mix of
internal and external factors found, for example,
in Mesopotamia. Egyptian influence on other
peoples was also significant. Its hieroglyphic

classic Egyptian art, from the Old Kingdom, can be
found in their rendering of the human form. An
interest in portraiture developed early in Egypt.
