Abstract
Egypt’s Eighteenth Dynasty was a period of unparalleled highs—of military power, art, industry, construction, and royal control—as well as crushing lows. This chapter charts the rise of the Eighteenth Dynasty, focusing on the major developments of Egypt’s society and culture. It charts the redefinition of kingship toward the king as an active military hero, the rise of Amun-Re and the Karnak Temple as religious and political institutions, innovations in private and royal funerary traditions and architecture, as well as the development of societal structures of power and patronage within the Egyptian elite. Utilizing archaeological evidence from sites such as Edfu, Gurob, and Tell el-Amarna, the chapter also focuses on the life, industry, and death of the Egyptian non-elite, a vast majority of the country’s population often overlooked due to poor evidence preservation. It also explores the fall of the Theban Eighteenth Dynasty and the increasing dominance and power of Egypt’s military elite personified in the last ruler of the Dynasty, the General Horemheb.
