1.4 Post Amarna Reforms

The failure of the Amarna revolution left Egypt in need of a strong and stable government with a clear agenda for restoring the old ways.

Download the following PowerPoint presentation for more details about how Tutankhamen began restoring Egypt to its former glory.

NOTE that you should also discuss the contributions of Horemheb, Seti I and Ramesses II. However, you will learn about these in more detail naturally as we complete dot point 1.7
