THE BIG PICTURE

Neighboring cultures were growing while Egyptian civilization was spreading along the Nile.

• To the north, people in Europe were developing the islands and peninsulas across the Mediterranean Sea.

• To the west, Africans were finding ways to survive in the harsh desert environment of the Sahara.

• To the south, the kingdoms of Nubia had gold mines and trade networks that made the kingdom thrive.

• Asian communities that were large and small on the east, were forming today’s countries of Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq.

NEW RULERS IN EGYPT

When the Old Kingdom collapsed, a new era of Egyptian history began.

• Egypt’s Middle Kingdom took place about 2100 BC through 1700 BC.

When the pharaoh’s armies conquered kingdoms in Nubia they made use of gold mines.

• The name of this country may come from the Egyptian word for “nub,” meaning gold.

NEW RULERS IN EGYPT

During this time, people began moving.

• Egyptian traders increased their business with cities in western Asia, so people from Asia came to live in Egypt’s delta region.

• By 1650 BC these new settlers, called Hyksos, challenged the pharaoh.

The Greek phrase for Hyksos is “rulers of hill lands.”

• This group ruled Lower Egypt for the next 100 years.

NEW RULERS OF EGYPT

The weapons these people use to defeat Egyptian armies in battle:

• Horses, chariots, strong bronze weapons, bows, and arrows.

Egyptian leaders at Thebes continued to control Upper Egypt.

In 1550 BC Pharaoh Ahmose and the Egyptians regained control of the delta from the Hyksos by using weapons and chariots that they copied from the Hyksos.

The New Kingdom began when the Hyksos were defeated.

• Pharaoh Ahmose and later pharaohs vowed they would become the strongest military power in the world by never letting any outsiders control any part of Egypt.

During the New Kingdom period, Egypt’s leaders worked hard to win back the lands lost in wars.

• They took control of an area that is now the country of Israel, and pushed as far as the Euphrates River.

• Empire: a group of lands and people ruled by one government.
