Capital of egypt during the new kingdom

During the New Kingdom period, which lasted from around 1550 to 1069 BCE, the capital of Egypt was Thebes (also known as Waset or Luxor). Thebes was a major city in ancient Egypt and was considered the capital of the country during the 16th to 11th centuries BCE.

Thebes was located on the east bank of the Nile River, about 670 kilometers (416 miles) south of modern-day Cairo. It was a major center of worship for the god Amun, and the city was home to the magnificent Temple of Karnak, one of the largest and most impressive temple complexes in the world.

The New Kingdom period was a time of great prosperity and cultural achievement in Egypt, and Thebes was at the heart of it all. The city was a major center of trade, commerce, and culture, and it was home to many of the most powerful and influential pharaohs of the period, including Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, and Ramses II.

Thebes remained the capital of Egypt until the end of the New Kingdom period, when the capital was moved to Tanis in the Nile Delta. However, Thebes continued to be an important city and a major center of worship for the god Amun until the Roman period.
