    IMPACTS OF THE HYKSOS

    The adoption of military technology learned from the Hyksos impacted on military success of the early 18th dynasty. Prior to these new, improved military devices, weaponry was very broad and simple. Although; during the new kingdom period, the Hyksos introduced various advanced technological equipment. The main contribution of the Hyksos was the horse drawn war chariot. They were incredibly dependent on these chariots when fighting enemies; as supported by inscriptional evidence from the tomb of Ahmose “I followed the king [Ahmose] on foot when he rode abroad in his chariot”. The chariot consisted of a light, wooden framework with four to six wheels. Two horses were yoked to the chassis by a long pole attached to the centre of the axle. This is depicted as a figure in ‘Antiquity 3 – New Kingdom Egypt to the death of Thutmose IV’ and as an advantage to the Hyksos, the chariot could move freely and maneuver into small places. Herbert E. Winlock describes new military hardware; the composite bow, as well as the improved recurve bow, daggers, and the metal helmet. These sophisticated versions of weapons were used to protect the pharaoh and his wife as suggested in the tomb of Queen Ahhotep the younger. Military battles…

    King Philmas War Analysis

    In the article, Philip Ranlet analyzes the possible causes that led to King Philip’s War to deconstruct the misleading interpretations often made by historians about the crucial event. Ranlet’s “Another Look at the Causes of King Philip’s War” contributes to the New Left historiographical discussion because the historians demand the inclusion of those features of our history that explains how we came to be a violent, racist, repressive society. The interpretation of some historians are often influenced by the time period the event is being analyzed. For example, nineteenteenth century historian, John Gorham Palfrey, referred to King Philip as “ ‘an unreasoning and cruel barbarian’ who had no cause to war against the Puritan settlers.”(Ranlet…

    Akhenaten: Ruler Of Egypt

    Akhenaten, the so called "Heretic Pharaoh  was a Ruler of Egypt during the period known as the 18th Dynasty. He ascended to the throne as Amenhotep IV, succeeding his father Amenhotep III. Akhenaten's brief reign, of hardly more than sixteen years, happened at a difficult time in Egyptian history; a period in which the decline of the previously unparalleled Egyptian empire seemed inevitable. Many scholars maintain that Akhenaten was responsible for this decline, but evidence suggests that it had already started. Whatever his connection with the decline of the Empire, one aspect of Akhenaten's reign is indisputable: his religious reforms. Effectively discarding the beliefs of an Empire, Akhenaten denounced the existing polytheist religious…
