  New Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Kingdom is the period in Egyptian history between the 16th century BCE and the 11th century BCE, covering the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties of Egypt.
It followed the Middle Kingdom, and was succeeded by the Third Intermediate Period.
One of the best-known New Kingdom pharaohs was Amenhotep IV, who changed his name to Akhenaten in honor of the Aten and whose exclusive worship of the Aten is often interpreted as history's first instance of monotheism (and was argued in Sigmund Freud's Moses and Monotheism to have been the ultimate origin of Jewish monotheism).

Ahmose's aggresive policy against Asia and Nubia was followed by his successors, especially by Thutmosis I and Thutmosis III, who expanded the boundaries of the new empire as far as the 4th cataract to the south and as far as the Euphrates river near the modern-day Turkish border in the north.
Egypt’s stability was briefly ruptured when the late 18th Dynasty king Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, changed the Egyptian religion and had most temples closed, favouring one new god, the solar-deity Aton.
Thutmosis III was the greatest conqueror of the New Kingdom.

The New Kingdom is known with an intimacy that is missing from much of the rest of Egyptian history.
Although the Kingdom of the Hittites in central Anatolia was wiped out by the obscure migrations of the 12th century, small Hittite (nor "Neo-Hittite") states continued in Northern Syria, to which references to the Hittites in the Bible refer.
Ironically, it was the Hittites who then brought to an end the Kingdom of the Mitanni, which may have been ruled by a noble elite with Indo-Aryan affinities, speaking or influenced by another Indo-European language from the same family as Persian and Sanskrit, and who worshiped gods obviously identical to those of the Vedas.

 The New Atlantis by Francis Bacon
The morrow after our three days were past, there came to us a new man, that we had not seen before, clothed in blue as the former was, save that his turban was white with a small red cross on top.
The book contained all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, according as you have them (for we know well what the churches with you receive), and the Apoca- lypse itself; and some other books of the New Testament, which were not at that time written, were nevertheless in the book.
We represent also ordnance and instruments of war and engines of all kinds; and likewise new mixtures and com- positions of gunpowder, wild-fires burning in water and un- quenchable, also fire-works of all variety, both for pleasure and use.
