Topic: Third Intermediate Period


  
  The Structure of Egyptian History: And the Third Intermediate Period
The rise of Herihor ushered in a period known as the "Renaissance", a term previously used by the founders of new dynasties, wehem meswt (he who repeats births), alluding to what was supposed to be a new era of Egyptian strength.
When considering that this led directly into the Third Intermediate Period, one might see this posturing as almost humorous, but in fact, during certain parts of the 21st and 22nd Dynasties, Egypt seems to have regained some of its power that was lost during the later part of the New Kingdom.
This period ended with the death of Psusennes II in the north, after which Sheshonq I came to power in the north apparently by marrying the daughter of Psusennes II.

The Third Intermediate Period is a phrase used to refer the period of the history of Ancient Egypt from the death of pharaoh Rameses XI in 1070 BC to the foundation of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty by Psamtik I, following the expulsion of the Nubian rulers of the Twenty-fifth dynasty.
This period is characterised by the fracturing of the kingship in the country.

 Second Intermediate Period of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Second Intermediate Period marks a period when Ancient Egypt once again fell into disarray between the end of the Middle Kingdom, and the start of the New Kingdom.
It is best known as when the Hyksos made their appearance in Egypt, whose reign comprised the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Dynasties.
This dynasty was succeeded by a group of Hyksos princes and chieftains, who ruled in the eastern Delta with their local Egyptian vassals, and are known primarily by scarabs inscribed with their names, called by modern Egyptologists the Sixteenth Dynasty.

 THE  FIRST, SECOND & THIRD INTERMEDIATE PERIODS
The original chaos and turmoil that was considered to be the Second Intermediate Period, now does not appear to be as bad a previously thought.
This period of cultural change was expressed primarily by sculpture and painting which was often consciously modelled on earlier work of the Old and Middle Kingdom.
Note: The Saite Period, although here included as part of the Third Intermediate Period, is also often regarded as the first part of the Late Period.

The Bubastite Osorkon II apparently was (at least shortly) king in Tanis, between Amanemope and Akheperre Psusennes - this possibly because of Psusennes being underaged and Osorkon was the husband of Maatkare, one heiress of the Tanite royal family.

The Predynastic period, which ends with the unification of Egypt under one king, is generally subdivided into three parts, each of which refers to the site at which its archaeological materials were found: Badarian, Amratian (Naqada I), and Gerzean (Naqada II and III).
Archaeological sources indicate the emergence, by the late Gerzean period (about 3200 BC), of a dominant political force that was to become the consolidating element in the first united kingdom of ancient Egypt.
As the central government entered a period of decline, their presence made possible an influx of people from coastal Phoenicia and Palestine and the establishment of a Hyksos dynasty.
