This was the expansion period. Egypt expanded its borders through military conquest and became a world power.
During the time period of the New Kingdom, pharaohs were all powerful, and buried in the same geographic area called the Valley of the Kings.
Some of these great pharaohs included Akhenaten, Ramses the Great, and the female ruler Hastshepsut.
Other powerful empires were growing nearby, including the Assyrian Empire, Hittites, and the Sea Peoples, a powerful group of largely Greek and Phoenician/Canaanites pirates from the Aegean Sea.
These groups helped to bring an end to the New Kingdom and send Egypt into yet another Intermediate Period.
