Warfare Along the Nile. Around 1550 BCE, King Ahmose I reunified Egypt and expelled the Hyksos lords. Historically, the Second Intermediate Period ends and the New Kingdom begins. Chapter 1: On land and river the Thebans attack the Hyksos, pushing them northward towards their capital. King Ahmose I and his mother Queen Ahhotep pummeled their foes, while raising up their friends. We meet two of these: Ahmose Ibana, a commoner, and Queen Ahmose-Nefertari, wife of the King and priestess of Amun.

King Ahmose I and his soldiers pursued the Hyksos, straining to reach that ultimate victory, and re-unify The Two Lands. Chapter 3: Around 1530 BCE, King Ahmose I died. With his death and burial, the Second Intermediate Period ended and the New Kingdom began. We explore the funeral of a truly great monarch... Date c.1550 BCE. Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.
