The Role Of Ramesse III In Ancient Egypt
Ramesses I (1295-1294 BC), a military commander from the East Delta, became the founder of the new XIX dynasty under the former king Horemhebe, which, together with XX, is called Ramessid. They were tasked with restoring the influence of Egypt in the "post-World" world, which underwent major changes. The great legacy of Thutmose III in Asia was almost lost. Absorbed by the reform, Akhenaten departed from an active foreign policy, reacting little to the letters of the Asian vassal kings about the growing threat of the Hittites. The latter, meanwhile, defeated Arzava, shared with Assyria Mitanni and claimed Syria-Palestine. Collision with the Hittites became inevitable.

The Asian campaign of Seti I (1294-1279 BC) was a successful trial of forces,

    Ahmose the successor of Seqenenre was the pharaoh who liberated Egypt from the foreign rule of the Hyksos restoring unity and peace throughout the country. The Warrior Pharaoh amongst other roles and authorities was not all that Ahmose’s role as a pharaoh had developed into. All aspects of everyday life in Egypt have been changed and altered since Egypt’s liberation. Ahmose conducted a series of campaigns in Palestine, Nubia, Syria and sailed south through to Khent-hen-nefer in Asia. The campaign to Avaris was interrupted by an urgent rebellion in Upper Egypt at the time. A movement in Southern Palestine that took 6 years signified a warning to Palestine and Syria that an emerging new power and battalion was developing in Egypt. Ahmose’s movements are justified through an inscription of Ahmose den-Nekhbet. According to an inscription of Ahmose den-Nekhbet following the Palestine campaign Ahmose continued to expel the Hysos further into Syria. This conveys that Ahmose was also able to further expand the country from Nubian’s management up to second cataract.

    According to Egyptian documents the Egyptians loved cats more than anything else. They honored them like we honor the president. The only people in ancient Egypt to have cats were the pharaohs. The pharaohs could not give, trade, or sell their cats to a foreigner. It would be a crime and was not tolerable. If you killed a cat you would be killed by other Egyptians. A roman soldier was once killed for accidently killing a cat. If you accidently kill a cat you would have to fake mourning to trick the other pharaohs into believing you didn't do it. If a cat were to die it would be turned into a mummy and would be buried on top of your coffin.…

    Life in Ancient Egypt

    Life in ancient Egypt was not easy to live in back then, but it would have been cool to learn hieroglyphics and I love how they thought of their gods and goddesses. The amazing thing is that the Egyptians valued life and like in movies they were portrayed that they valued death. Children were also valued and treasured, and if the Egyptians could not have kids they would have adopted. I just would have hated on going to school and not getting an education just because of my gender. I would also hate getting married around 12 and have my marriage arranged by my parents. Not being with a man I loved on my own is way different than being made to love one man. The Egyptian women had a thing going thanks to the pre-nuptial they had to sign before getting married. I mean at least the men couldn’t take what you brought into the family, and sadly that includes the kids!…
