While Tuthmosis I (c.1525-1512 BC) built the first tomb in the Valley of the Kings, his daughter Hatshepsut raised the great mortuary temple of Deir el-Bahri, ruling as pharaoh (c.1503-1482 BC) despite her stepson's claim on the throne.
This division was consolidated under the XXI Dynasty (c.1069-945 BC), the successors of Herihor and Smendes ruling their respective halves of Egypt from Thebes and Tanis.
This XXII Dynasty (c.945-715 BC) ruled Egypt from Bubastis in the Delta until a rival line seized power in Upper Egypt, precipitating civil war between the Bubastite monarchs and the Theban XXIII Dynasty (818-720 BC), which was further complicated by a brief XXIV Dynasty (727-715 BC) of Ethiopian kings.

 Bast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Egyptian cat-headed goddess, Bastet was strictly a solar deity until the arrival of Greek influence on Egyptian society, when she became a lunar goddess due to the Greeks associating her with their Artemis.
Dating from the 2nd Dynasty (roughly 2890-2686 BC), Bastet was originally portrayed as either a wild desert cat or as a lioness, and only became associated with the domesticated feline around 1000 BC.
Bubastis was made famous by the traveler Herodotus in the 4th century BC, when he described in his annals one of the festivals that takes place in honor of Bastet.

The scarab was a common type of amulet, seal or ring-bezel found in Egypt from the 6th Dynasty (c.2345 BC) until the Ptolemaic period (c.30 BC).
In the Old and Middle Kingdom periods (2686-1650 BC), the fly was also depicted on various ritual artifacts, including the so called 'magic wands' often carved from hippopotamus ivory and probably intended to protect the owner from harm.
He was identified from a ceremonial mace-head found at Hierakonpolis (modern-day Kom el-Ahmar, about 80 km south of Luxor) [map] which depicts a king wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt with the glyph of a scorpion next to his face.

Amenemhat I Sephetepibra (1985-1955 BC) was the first ruler of the 12th Dynasty, but we believe he was earlier attested to as the vizier of Mentuhotep IV.
After the Second Intermediate Period (1650-1550 BC), viziers such as Ramose and Rekhmira continued to play a significant role in the government of Egypt, because of the strength the title gained during the that intermediate period.

By the 1st Millennium BC she was widely portrayed as a cat-headed woman often carrying a rattle and accompanied by kittens.
It was during the reign of Akhenaten (1352-1336 BC) that the concept of the sun god as a universal deity into whom all other deities could be absorbed took place.

The coffin was found in one of more than 20 mud-brick tombs, which Hawass said belonged to officials who had lived between 3100 BC to 2890 BC, under Egypt's 1st Dynasty.
Methods used between 1567 BC and 1200 BC were the most effective at preserving the dead, and the remains of King Ramses II, who ruled during that period, have been displayed at the Egyptian Museum.
Most elaborate were techniques used between 1085- BC and 945 BC, when the dried, washed and wrapped body of a mummy was strapped with cloth for protection and covered with jewellery to ward off evil.
