The New Kingdom comprises the Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth Dynasties (ca. 1570–ca. 1069 BCE). It was a stable and prosperous era that marked the peak of Egypt’s power. Ahmose I (r. ca. 1570–1544 BCE), the founder of the Eighteenth Dynasty,  is credited with driving the Hyksos out of Lower Egypt and reunifying the country. The best-known rulers of the Eighteenth Dynasty are the female pharaoh Hatshepsut (r. ca. 1479–1458 BCE), Thutmose III (r. ca. 1458–1425 BCE), and Akhenaten (r. ca. 1353–1332 BCE), who was responsible for the religious and artistic innovations of the Amarna period. In the Nineteenth Dynasty Ramesses II (r. ca. 1279–1213 BCE), known as Ramesses the Great, was an active builder of cities, temples, and monuments, and a successful military leader who conducted campaigns in Syria, Libya and Nubia. In the New Kingdom rulers and powerful nobles were buried in rock-cut tombs in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes (modern Luxor). Web resources here and here.
