This wealth and economic prosperity brought with himself an
excessive development of the luxury as it is pronounced in the constructions of
the time, erected by Amenhotep architect who will reach the divinity. Amenofis
tries to maintain its Asian superiority through an intense diplomatic activity
and of dynastic marriages. Its connection with Tiy, an Asian princess, very will
not possibly be guessed right since it will become a negative influence for the
sovereign. In order to strengthen the alliance with the kingdom of Mitanni it
married with two-called princess Kilugepa and Tadugepa. Also one married with a
Babylonian princess. The absence of military practice on the part of Amenofis is
considered like one of the causes that the fall of the Empire in next the 50
years will cause. Its refusal to make visits of inspection to Syria earth would
motivate the germ of a conflicting situation. Amenofis trusted the fidelity that
had to offer the educated enemy princes him in the Egyptian cut, practical
habitual from time of Amenofis I. The ascent to the hitita throne of
Suppiluliuma will bring complications since it will invade Mitanni. King
Tushratta will ask for aid to Amenofis III obtaining the expulsion of the
hititas of the country of Mitanni. But Suppiluliuma changed of strategy and
considered the expulsion of the Egyptians of Asia like its high-priority
objective necessary. It initiated a work of attraction of the displeasures like
the kings of Quadesh and Amurru. The allies initiated the conquest of the
Phoenician ports and the North zone of Syria, which did not motivate the
shipment of troops on the part of the Pharaoh. In the heat of military
effervescence in Asia passes away Amenofis III, leaving in the throne to
Amenofis IV better known by Akhenatón when starting up a complicated religious
reform. |
