	Amarna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The city was built as the new capital of the Pharaoh Akhenaten, dedicated to his new religion of worship to the Aten.
		Construction started in year 4 of his reign (1364 BC or 1346 BC) and was probably completed by year 9 (1359 BC or 1341 BC), although it became the capital city two years earlier.
		It is the only ancient Egyptian city for which we have great details of its internal plan, in large part because the city was abandoned shortly after the death of Akhenaten, and remained uninhabited thereafter.

	The Hittite empire to c. 1180 BC
		It is possible that the branch of the Hittite royal family that gained control in the 15th century BC may have originated in Kizzuwadna.
		While the king was at Kummanni, he was joined by his brother Piyasilis, king of Carchemish, who was taken ill and died; his death sparked off a revolt in Syria supported by Egypt and Assyria, but the appearance of the king himself at the head of his imperial army proved sufficient to suppress it.
		Kurunta, another son of Muwatallis, was installed as Great King of a state centered on the city of Tarhuntassa, probably southwest of Konya, with equal status to the ruler of Carchemish; the city would have served as a base for operations farther west.

		In the 7th millennium BC, Egypt was environmentally hospitable, and evidence of settlements from that time has been found in the low desert areas of southern, or Upper, Egypt; remains of similar occupation have been discovered at Nubian sites in modern Sudan.
		As a consequence of internal strife, the reigns of this and the succeeding 8th Dynasty (2134-2124 BC) are rather obscure.
		In fact the next two dynasties, the 23rd (818-715 BC) and 24th (727-715 BC), were contemporaneous with the latter part of the 22nd Dynasty, just as the 25th (Nubian) Dynasty effectively controlled much of Egypt during the last years of the 22nd and the 24th dynasties.

		The key point that is being missed in this entire discussion of dating the Exodus, either based on the text of the OT or other external evidence such as Josephus or Menetho is that during the period in question, Canaan was a province of Egypt.
		From the expulsion of the Hyksos in 1540 BC to at least the end of the nineteenth dynasty, (1196 BC), but probably even into the 20th dynasty, Egypt exercised military control over Canaan.
		Some kings were active and aggressive (Thutmoses III, who recorded a victory over Canaanite kings at a battle at Megiddo in 1456 BC) or while others were passive and inattentive (Amenhotep IV, 1353-1336 BC aka Akhenaten, and the Amarna letters) but all had control.

		A group of fragments from several heavy though crudely fashioned bracelets of base silver clearly forms part of the so-called "Tell al-Balamun treasure," found in a pottery jar buried in the ground and dated by Carter to the end of the Ptolemaic period.
		The origin of this piece is as yet obscure; its quality, as well as what appear to be its royal pretensions, may indicate that it is one of a number of leatherwork fragments discovered during the first decade of this century in the vicinity of the tomb of Amenophis III.
		This, together with fragments of a second, similar jar, came from the cache of 13 dug from the ground in 1920 by Lady Carnarvon at the entrance to the tomb of Merenptah in the Valley of the Kings.

		This spectacular planned and rapidly built city - which boasted a population of between 20 and 50 thousand at its height - was a place of magnificent temples and sumptuous palaces brightly decorated with paintings and tiles, gardens, pools, private houses, and tombs.
		But, soon after the king's death, in 1336 BC his radical vision was quashed - the worship of many gods restored, Memphis and Thebes returned to their status as political and religious capitals, and Amarna abandoned - mostly under the rule of the "Boy King," Tutankhamen, who, some believe, was Akhenaten's son.
