| Top 10 Egyptian Pharaoh's (New Kingdom)
The New Kingdom took place between the Eighteenth - Twentieth Dynasties, from 1550-1070BC | | 1 | Maatkare
AKA Hatshepsut
After her husband, the previous pharaoh, died, the Egyptian government was left in disarray. With her step-son not of proper age to rule, Maatkare took matters into her own hands, assuming the throne first as co-regent with her son, then as Pharaoh in her own right. Under her rule, Egypt avoided impending disaster and her reforms saved an Egypt that had been wracked by calamities during her husband's reign. Her steadfast rule makes Maatkare the ultimate and ideal Pharaoh. | | 2 | Menkheperre
AKA Thutmose III
Considered one of the greatest warrior-kings in Egypt's history, Menkheperre conducted 17 military campaigns in his lifetime, and was victorious in all of them. He restructured the Egytian Navy, making them one of the most powerful military forces in the world at that time. A genius who continued to build upon the prosperity brought on by his mother, Menkheperre remains a ruler with few equals. | | 3 | Menmaatre
AKA Seti I
During the years following Waenre's death, much of Egypt's territory had fallen and their power as an empire had begun to wane. When Menmaatre took the throne he made it his mission to restore his kingdom to its former glory, and he did. By the time of his death, he had reclaimed every inch of lost territory since Waenre's rule. Regarded as a savior of Egypt, Menmaatre instituted a second golden age for the New Kingdom and brought prestige to the then young Nineteenth Dynasty. | | 4 | Usermaatre Sentpenre
AKA Ramesses II
The son of Menmaatre, Usermaatre Sentpenre is nowadays regarded as "Ramesses the Great" for a reason. A prominent warrior-king, Sentpenre conducted 15 military campaigns, with 14 victories and 1 stalemate. He expanded Egypt's borders to an unprecedented length, and built numerous temples, monuments, and even a new capital city. His rule brought extraordinary wealth, stability, and power the likes Egypt had never seen before. | | 5 | Aakheperkare
AKA Thutmose I
The New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt was no stranger to warrior-pharaohs, and Aakheperkare was no exception. As Pharaoh, Aakheperkare conducted numerous campaigns, winning huge swathes of territory for the Kingdom, and established the New Kingdom period as possibly Egypt's most dominant era. | | 6 | Nebpehtire
AKA Ahmose I
Following the downfall of the Middle Kingdom, Egypt entered a nearly 300 year long dark age known as the Second Intermediary Period, wherein Egypt was divided into 2 Kingdoms and their former glory was rusted and broken. Upon taking the throne, Nebhepetre immediately used his military to invade and defeat the rulers of Lower Egypt, a group of usurpers known as the Hyksos. With the Hyksos Expelled and Egypt reunified for the first time in 300 years, Nebhepetre established what is now called the New Kingdom of Egypt, one of the most powerful eras in the Ancient Kingdom's history. | | 7 | Nebmaatre
AKA Amenhotep III
A shrewd and cunning diplomat, Nebmaatre presided over a prosperous Kingdom during his time as Pharaoh. A prolific builder, Nebmaatre built numerous obelisks, stelae, and monuments all over the Nile Delta. In diplomacy, he enhanced trade routes with other nations while also winning favorable terms with other nations, especially the Babylonians, yet his policies were firm in their stances, and Nebmaatre made sure Egypt came out on top in every scenario. | | 8 | Aakheperrure
AKA Amenhotep II
Though he never fully reached the heights of his father Menkheperre, Aakheperrure nevertheless had many accomplishments to his name. With the rise of the Hittites to the North, Aakheperrure made peace with longtime enemies in the Kingdom of Mitanni in order to combat the threat, and the two kingdoms never fought again. He instituted numerous building projects in smaller pronvinces of the Kingdom, giving them prestige and stabilizing his borders. A cynical but balanced man, Aakheperkare ran his administration with utmost efficiency, openly critiquing his associates to perform better, leaving his government one of the most efficient governments in Egypt's history. | | 9 | Usermaatre Meryamun
AKA Ramesses III
By the time of Meryamun's rule, Egypt had lost it's power and prosperity, as a series of invasions and economic problems had hurt the Kingdom during the 20th Dynasty. Despite this, Meryamun did everything he could to postpone their inevitable end, and his successful military defenses ensured that the Kingdom would survive for another 70 years. His most notable accomplishment, however, was his steadfast defense against the Sea Peoples, a mysterious invading force of unknown origin that had rampaged across the East Mediterranean with reckless abandon. His defeat of these invaders saved Egypt from a disastrous potential future. | | 10 | Neferkheperure Waenre
AKA Akhenaten
In retrospect, it can be said that Waenre's religious and political reforms left Egypt unstable and divided, leading to a loss of prestige and territory, following his death. This is true, but what is not talked about as much the artistic revolution that began what is called the Amarna period. With radical use of curvature and perspective, the Amarna era saw a flourishing of new art that distinguished this period from every other's in Egypt. This fact should always be taken into account when measuring Waenre's success as a ruler. | |
