Ancient Egypt - Middle Kingdom

Dynasties Eleven and Twelve (2040- 1785 BC)
The Middle Kingdom, covering the DYNASTIES 11 and 12, started when MENTUHOTEP I gradually expanded his influence from THEBES northwards and came into conflict with the HERAKLEOPOLTIANS. He managed to defeat them and reunite the country and re-establish the central government. DYNASTY 12 was founded by AMENEMHET I the VIZIER of MENTUHOTEP III, the most significant act was to move the capital from THEBES to a site named ITJTAWY near MEMPHIS.

With this move to north the leaders of the new DYNASTY reverted again to pyramid building, although they never attempted to raise such a magnificent structure as those produced during the OLD KINGDOM. During the Middle Kingdom Egypt became once more highly organized and well administered country, the land was settled, and irrigation systems were again established. The administration of the country was also greatly reformed. Egyptian trade flourished with NUBIA, Libya and western Asia. Middle Kingdom art reached a high standard. The Middle Kingdom was also the golden age of Egyptian literature.
