New Kingdom
Refers to the last of three periods of ancient Egyptian civilization comprising the Eighteenth Dynasty through the Twentieth Dynasty. The New Kingdom is often considered to be the peak of ancient Egyptian culture. A brief revolutionary episode especially in representational art occurred during the reign of Akhenaten in the Amarna period when many existing conventions were reversed and more freedom of expression was allowed.
