Themes for studying 18th Dynasty:
Kingship: builder, warrior, connected to divine
Military: creation and maitenance of empire
Religion: temples as major recipients of both the building impulse and the loot of war; become part and parcel of the refinement of the definition of kingship
Royal women: individual women, offices held by women
Non-royal part of the equation: government and the relations between bureaucrats and royalty; religious role of private individuals

Stela of Kamose, last king of Dynasty XVII
![Page 19: Early New Kingdom Chronology](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5867d9581a28ab86568b959d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Excerpts from the Kamose stela:
His majesty spoke in his palace to the council of nobles who were in his retinue: 'Let me understand what this strength of mine is for! (One) prince is in Avaris, another is in Nubia, and (here) I sit associated with an Asiatic and a Nubian! Each man has his slice of this Egypt, dividing up the land with me . . . . No man can settle down, when despoiled by the taxes of the Asiatics. I will grapple with him, that I may rip open his belly! My wish is to save Egypt and to smite the Asiatic!
I went north because I was strong (enough) to attack the Asiatics through the command of Amun, the just of counsels. My valiant army was in front of me like a blast of fire. The troops of the Madjai were on the upper part of our cabins, to seek out the Asiatics and to push back their positions. East and west had their fat, and the army foraged for things everywhere. I set out a strong troop of the Madjai, while I was on the day's patrol . . . to him in . . . Teti, the son of Pepi, within Nefrusi. I would not let him escape while I held back the Asiatics who had withstood Egypt. He made Nefrusi the nest of the Asiatics. I spent the night in my boat, with my heart happy.
When day broke, I was on him as if it were a falcon. When the time of breakfast had come, I attacked him. I broke down his walls, I killed his people, and I made his wife come down to the riverbank. My soldiers were as lions are, with their spoil, having serfs, cattle, milk, fat and honey, dividing up their property, their hearts gay.

From the stela of Ahhotep at Karnak
“She is the one who has accomplished the rites and taken care of Egypt... She has looked after her soldiers, she has guarded her, she has brought back her fugitives and collected together her deserters, she has pacified Upper Egypt and expelled her rebels.”

Yet more from Ahmose son of Ibana (it’s a long inscription):
Then his majesty (Thutmosis I) was informed that the Nubian…. At this, his majesty became enraged like a leopard. His majesty shot, and his first arrow pierced the chest of that foe. Then those [enemies turned to flee], helpless before his Uraeus. A slaughter was made among them; their dependents were carried off as living captives. His majesty journeyed north, all foreign lands in his grasp, and that wretched Nubian Bowman head downward at the bow of his majesty’s ship “Falcon”.…His majesty (still Thutmosis I) reached Naharin and found that the fallen one had mustered his troops. Then his majesty made a great slaughter among them, there was no end to the living captives his majesty took in his victory.
