After the independence of Lower Egypt under the authority of one of his sons, Twenty-first Egyptian Dynasty separated from the Empire and the unrest broke up by king Psusennes I. Then the delta separated from the empire, and unrest and Revolutions in Ancient Egypt broke out in Egypt.
After the kings of this dynasty ruled Egypt as foreign kings and included themselves in the Egyptian dynasties, they were the kings of the Twenty-second Dynasty of Egypt of Libya by King Shoshenq I.
Egypt then experienced internal unrest during which the kingdom was divided into several small independent principalities, and then the Kushites (Ethiopians) ruled Nubia Egypt.

What was the Ramesside period known for?
When the rule of the Ramesside era began, it was the end of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt with the death of King Seti II and his wife, Queen Twosret.
At the same time, it was a usher in expressing a new era that grew up great in the history of Pharaonic Egypt and in its politics as well, whether at home or abroad, and it is The era that represents the establishment of the rule of the Second Empire in ancient Egypt at the hands of a group or series of great pharaohs.
During that period, King Horemheb of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt had completely abolished that ancient religious system, “Ancient Egyptian religion” or the system of monotheism.that wasA walrus chosen by King Akhenaton with his wife, Queen Nefertiti, at Tell el-Amarna in the Minya Desert“.
In essence, this act was considered a strong and bold leap towards the establishment of a new doctrine, which is true monotheism, and thus the country had returned, after Akhenaten’s rule, once again to its old or ancient traditional religion, which it had previously worn for itself for many years and since the dawn of history..
The one who led this ancient or reactionary movement was Horemheb, and he was the last one of the pharaoh kings in this family, and then he survived.HTo put things back on track again.
What effect did the Ramesside period have on Egypt?
After King Horemheb died before he was able to achieve all those things that he aspired to, and then he was succeeded again on the throne by his commander Al-Anin and his greatest minister, and at the same time he was his only crown prince who, before his death, had completely trained him in all matters. Which concerns the king’s policy in the country, and what we mean by it here is King Ramesses I.
Also, after assuming power in Ancient Egyptian Government and obtaining the Coronation of the Pharaohs, he had given birth to Mahnoua, or a large series of great pharaohs and rulers, who, despite their being among the dwarfs, did not belong, remotely or closely, to those qualities found in the pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty, these pharaohs.
Who had previously had all the charms of luxury creeping into their bodies, and then weakness had crept into them, and there was a great decline in their morals..
Where did Ramesses’ family originate?
It grew during the Ramesside era and the family of the Pharaonic king Ramesses within the boundaries of Sturit County, located in Qafla in the northern Delta..
Also, during his reign, a group of great works were completed by the Pharaonic family, such as the development of Ancient Egyptian science, Mummification in ancient Egypt, the art of Sculpture in Ancient Egypt, and Architecture in ancient Egypt, which had previously distinguished it during the periods of Egyptian history..
What was the religion in the Ramesside period?
The Egyptian religion was in a critical situation at that time, in the face of political setbacks and progressive civilizational declines, the priests of Egypt resorted to the fundamentalist return of the Egyptian religion at the time of the Ancient Empire and it seems that the stages of civilizational regression sometimes impose such a religious regression and there is a strong belief that the people of the ancient era reached the flag one point that cannot be exceeded.
This phase was called the Saite era which witnessed the passion of the Saite kings for researching the ancient papyrus texts and plaques that raised the ground for many generations, and for collecting, examining and organizing them, thus illustrating why the past has triumphed over the present and why the priests supporting this reactionary movement ignore what is happening around them in the world.
This collection of origins was accompanied by a return to the texts of ancient magic and the popularity of its applications, and the magical animal forms of the gods were revived, and the totals of the gods appeared as a mixed animal mosaic, as if a return to the animal world had stabilized after the Egyptians poisoned their gods with monotheism in the modern kingdom, another manifestation of regression.
At that time, the cult of Seth, symbol of destruction, and at the same time invalidated the role of the goddess Isa (Isis) until she became the mother goddess of the ancient Egyptian nation, and this cultural regression appears, because she evoked the mother goddess in the form of Isis, who worshipped as the protector of Egypt.
Suddenly, the role of the Apis calf (a form of the God Ptah) grew, worshipping him by all means and burying his body in a solemn ceremony in the special cemetery of the Serapium next to Memphis, but the reverence of this calf began during the reign of the Old Kingdom. , and has now become so great that religious intolerance among the inhabitants of Alexandria in Roman times has reached a great point.
Apparently, the priests of the Saîte era interpreted these outward manifestations with the philosophy by which they interpreted their religious superstitions, thus creating something that did not exist or was attributed to them before.
The Ramesside era, or let us be more specific, is the era of Ramesses II and the era in which the second empire was established.
