Hatshepsut female pharaoh Hatshepsut used propaganda to legitimize her claim to the throne. successful reign marked by trading expeditions to Punt, mortuary temple, a colossal obelisks and chapel at Karnak nephew-stepson Tuthmosis III sought to erase her legacy near the end of his reign, possibly in retaliation for usurping his throne.

Amenhotep IV - Akhenaten Around 1350 BC - Amenhotep IV - Akhenaten, believed obscure sun god Aten as the supreme deity attacked the power of the priest establishment. Moving capital to Amarna Ignored foreign affairs and absorbed himself in new religion and artistic style. After death, the cult of the Aten quickly abandoned subsequent pharaohs Tutankhamun, Ay, and Horemheb erased all mention of Akhenaten's heresy, (Amarna Period)

Ramesses II 1279 BC - Ramesses II - built more temples, erect more statues and obelisks, and sire more children than any other pharaoh in history. bold military leader, led army against the Hittites - Battle of Kadesh after to stalemate, agreed to the first recorded peace treaty around 1258 BC After death no strong military power Egypt's wealth tempting target for invasion (Libyans and Sea Peoples) Egypt eventually lost control of Syria and Palestine.

Third Intermediate Period Egypt's far-reaching prestige declined considerably south controlled by High Priests of Amun at Thebes, did not recognize new pharaoh linage Libyans in delta, increasing their autonomy Temple, cities and villages sacked by foreign invaders from north and east No central political or cultural center Persian ruler Mazaces handed Egypt over to Alexander the Great without resistance

Ptolemaic Dynasty – Alexander the Great In 332 BC, Alexander the Great conquered Egypt with little resistance - welcomed by the Egyptians administration established by Alexander's successors, the Ptolemies, based on Egyptian model in the new capital city, Alexandria city - power and prestige of Greek rule became a seat of learning and culture, centered of famous Library of Alexandria Lighthouse of Alexandria lit the way for the many ships which kept trade flowing through the city

Ptolemaic Dynasty - Continued Ptolemies made commerce and revenue-generating enterprises top priority – eg. papyrus manufacturing Greek culture did not replace native Egyptian culture -effort to secure the loyalty of populace. built new temples in Egyptian style, supported traditional cults, and portrayed themselves as pharaohs. Rome soon relied more heavily on imports of grain from Egypt –as a result - Romans took great interest Ptolemaic politics

Roman Domination Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire in 30 BC following the defeat of Marc Antony and Ptolemaic Queen Cleopatra VII by Octavian (later Emperor Augustus) in the Battle of Actium.

Egypt’s final Collapse of Power Romans relied heavily on grain shipments from Egypt - resulted in harsh Roman rule of Egyptian people strictly enforced the collection of heavy taxes Alexandria City became increasingly important center on the trade route with the orient, as exotic luxuries were in high demand in Rome. Local administration became Roman in style and closed to native Egyptians Power of Egypt now solely in the hands of a Stronger Empire.
