Twentieth dynasty: last dynasty of Egypt's "New Kingdom".
Summary
Ramesses IV
After the reign of queen Tausret, Setnakht seizes power
King Ramesses III does everything he can to emulate Ramesses II; the war at Kadesh is the model for Ramesses III's descriptions of his wars against the Sea People
King Ramesses III also grants much land to the temples
There are serious problems: the "harem conspiracy" and strikes of the workforces are recorded
During the reigns of his successors, Egypt is still in control of Kanaan, but it appears to be slipping away; we learn about tomb robberies
In his nineteenth year (1081), Ramesses XI celebrates the "age of restoration", but in fact, the kingdom desintegrates. The high priests of Amun in Thebes become independent
