Facts About The Middle Kingdom
Mentuhotep was the ruler of the city of Thebes in the Upper Egypt who had successfully leaded his army up and down the Nile against the nomarchs and won control of the entire nation.
Thebes replaced Memphis as the capital city. The return of prosperity Egypt’s middle class
of traders, scribes and craftsmen had rapidly expanded.
The middle class of this period developed a taste for luxury items that were formerly available to just the pharaohs and the nobility.

Questions What are Hyksos? What Egyptians called the nomads from
Palestine. What did the anarchy of the Dark Ages make
clear to the rulers of the Middle Kingdom? They made it clear that Egypt needed a very
strong central government. Why did Egypt conquer Nubia? Egypt conquered Nubia because during
Senwosnet’s reign he had ordered a channel that was 250 feet long and 34 feet wide cut through the granite rocks beside the rapids of the First Cataract. This bypass allowed his war galleys to sail directly in to Nubia which was conquered and was made part of Egypt’s territory.
