Egypt's golden empire : Pharaohs of the Sun 5/9

Over 3,500 years ago, Rome was no more than a soggy marsh and the Acropolis was just an empty rock, but Egypt was on the brink of its greatest age - the New Kingdom. There was an explosion of creativity, wealth and power in Egypt that would make it the envy of the world. After defeating the Hyksos invaders, successive Pharaohs expanded and maintained their Empire through both force and diplomacy. In the process, they won Egypt vast amounts of gold, influence and respect. They included; Ahmose, Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis III, Amenhotep III, Akenhaten, Tutankhamen and Ramesses III. Behind the power of the Egyptian empire lay a vast wealth of natural resources. Chief among these was the river Nile, the freeway of the ancient world, whose floodplains also provided huge expanses of fertile farming ground that kept Egypt self-sufficient and usually famine-free. Along the banks of the Nile, the humble papyrus plant was used to create a bureaucratic efficiency and cultural sophistication previously unknown to mankind

Joseph of the mad dream coat had a daughter called kiya(?)who he married off to amenhotep the third. He didnt have kids to his 1st missus, but he did to this one, enter amenhotep the forth(later akenhaten). Slightly paranoid of a male succesor stealiing his throne resulted in a the young akenhaten taking a boat ride down the nile in a reed basket(ring any bells). Needless to say he had monotheistic sympathies. The infiltration of egyptian society by the hebra(?) hyksos made easy the revolution.

@Lancearodriguez Is your skin darker than white? If so why do you think you are ugly. I sense another victim of social conditioning. I suggest you look for the artisans behind this conditioning and perhaps learn to love yourself and others, regardless of such minor attributes as skin tone. Shanti on your journey.
