Overview
This unit presents an archaeological study of New Kingdom Egypt when the country was one of the dominant powers in the Mediterranean. At the height of the Late Bronze Age, the kings of Egypt were leaders in the intensive elite trading network that created an internationalism of unprecedented scale across the Mediterranean. Combining material and textual evidence with current approaches to archaeology, the unit examines the international character of Egyptian culture through four main phases within the New Kingdom period: the reigns of the female king Hatshepsut and her co-regent Thutmose III; Amenhotep III to Tutankhamun; Seti I and Ramesses II; and Ramesses III.
