Welcome to the History of the World Podcast. My name is Chris Hasler.

And you're listening to volume 2, The Ancient World

This is episode 16 Oh, In our last episode we discussed Tooten Carmen, the boy who became the Pharaoh at the age of nine and reverted the religion of Egypt back to the traditional and popular polytheistic belief

system to the delight, praise and adulation of the Egyptian population.

It is believed that Tooten-Karmen may have died of an infection to a leg wound possibly caused by falling from a chariot,

Tooten-Karmen's tomb appeared to have escaped the attention of Tomb Raiders, potentially rendered

Tooten-Karmen's father, Arcanaten, was the man who attempted to completely alter the religion of Egypt,

and in his vain attempts, he is guilty of losing territories under Egyptian control. 16 years after Arcanatans reign, the new

Pharaoh and last of the 18th dynasty called Horam Hebb went to great lengths to

extinguish any buildings, monuments and references to the

Amana period, which refers to the period when Arkenartan had moved the capital city

during his attempted

the 18th dynasty ended with Egypt stabilized. It would be Horam Hebs trusted Vizier, a man of non-royal stock who would be the new

Pharaoh and the man whose bloodline would be the new Pharaoh and the man whose bloodline would become the 19th dynasty.

He would come to be known as Ramesses the first.

His son took over soon afterwards as the Pharaoh Seti the first.

Seti became the Pharaoh of the New Kingdom of Egypt at the start of the 13th century B.C.

Cettie would continue the tradition of strong post-Omana period monarchs.
