The Ancient Egyptian Empire was one of the oldest

and longest ruling empires in history. The empire

spanned over 3,000 years. During that time the

empire rose and fell as power shifted from one

dynasty to the next and the occasional invasion from

neighboring empires.

While the civilization's rulers, language, writing, climate, religion and borders

have changed many times over the millennia, Egypt still exists as a modern-

day country.

Akhenaten came to power as the pharaoh of Egypt in either the year 1353 or
1351 BCE and reigned for roughly 17 years during the 18th dynasty of Egypt's
New Kingdom. Akhenaten became best known to modern scholars for the
new religion he created that centered on the Aten.

Pharaohs were the kings of ancient Egypt. The Egyptians believed their


pharaoh to be the mediator between the gods and the world of men. The
pharaoh's will was supreme, and he governed by royal decree.

There are a lot of invaders who actually conquered egypt most likely they are
coming from  the Libyans, the Nubians, the Assyrians, the Achaemenid
Persians, and the Macedonians under the command of Alexander the
Great.

At the end of Egypt’s empire the climate became erratic

and unstable. The Egyptians relied on the water from the

Nile floods to help their crops grow, but the Egyptian

climate experienced roughly a hundred of years of dry

spells and water became scarce.


There were also periods of unusually cold weather that
further stressed the crops and led to a drastic decrease in
harvests. Crops were also destroyed by sporadic and
unpredictable flooding of the Nile. With little to no food or
surplus for long periods of time, hunger and shortage of
resources.

Economic and political unrest also led to the weakening of


the Ancient Egyptian empire. There were huge inequalities
in the distribution of wealth among the elites and the rest
of the population. Many people began to distrust the
government and religious authority. The continuous wars
created huge expenses and weakened the economic power
of the Pharaoh.
