Kemet Egypt

The foreign rulers of Egypt(Kemet)

"They (Hyksos) ruled Egypt for some two hundred years before the native Egyptians waged wars of liberation. The culmination of this Egyptian resurgence came to its conclusion Ahmose forced the last of the Hyksos to flee into Palestine and besiege them at Sharuhen, near Gaza, for three years.

The Egyptian historical period, known as the New Kingdom, begin with XVIII(18th) Dynasty. Its first king was Ahmose who took power in 1552 BCE. This was to be the first time the children of Mizraim would ever govern themselves under a series of dynasties they could call their own. For, at the end of the New Kingdom, other Cushite people would come to dominate them, and then, domination would be assumed first by the Greeks and then by the Romans. The XVIII(18th) was composed of fourteen rulers and doing this time span, Egypt soared to new heights of greatness. Syria and Palestine were occupied as far as the Euphrates. Nubia and Libya, the land of Phut, was dominated. The conquered lands in Syria and Palestine had to pay tribute as vassal states under a new onvert martial policy of control. During the New Kingdom, the first attempts at invasions by the so-called see people [from the islands of the Mediterranean,] from the north were attempted, but they were unsuccessful. Egypt was perhaps the foremost power in the world at this juncture. They enjoyed diplomatic and economic relations of a favorable nature with all the established peoples of the Fertile Crescent region. It was doing the approximately four hundred years period of this the New Kingdom that the Israelites people along with others lived in bondage in the land of Mizraim, constructing the Magnificent monuments and cities which characterized the New Kingdom. Notable among their labors was the city of Ramose, built during the reign of Ramesses II. The exact date of the death of Rameses II is questionable as there exists two differing systems updating. However, within a few years, his son Merenptah (Merneptah) ascended the throne, 1224 BCE and ruled under until 1214 BCE..(Some accounts date his rule from 1212 to 1202 BCE) After this time, Libyan and Nubian rulers, using the name Rameses, help ours. The New Kingdom came to an end somewhere around the year 1162 BCE and was followed by another intermediate period during which Cushite Pharaohs were in control. As time wore on, these rulers fell victim to Greek Invaders, led by Alexander. As an autonomous people of distinct and singular heritage, the children of Mizraim had come and gone, leaving behind one of the more marvelous and mysterious cultures the world has yet known."

"After Egypt was weakened and terrified by the scourge of the ten plagues, Pharaoh agreed to emancipate the Hebrew slaves. Beginning with the reign of Merneptah and the kings of the 20th Dynasty, Egypt was in a state of decline. There were revolts throughout the Empire. It is evident that the emancipation of the Hebrew slaves may have triggered these revolts, producing a chain reaction. Weakness at home and attack from the external enemies marked the defeat and decline of the empire. And the 10th Century BC, the Libyans invaded Egypt and established the 22nd Bubastite Dynasty. Under this Libyan Dynasty, Egypt tried to revive the empire. Sheshonk or Shishak invaded Palestine and entered into combat with the Davidic Dynasty. At this time the most of Shishak's troops were Libyans and Cushites. After two hundred years of Libyan rule, the Cushites invaded Egypt and the Middle East, making themselves a great power. Then the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs invaded Egypt consecutively, terminating Egyptian rule." From Babylon to Timbuktu, by Rudolph R Windsor, page 70
