Aswan Governerate in Egypt

Aswan was known as ‘Sonu’ in ancient Egyptian times, meaning market, as it was a trading centre for caravans coming to and from Nubia. In the Ptolemaic era, it was called ‘Sin’ and the Nubians called it ‘Yaba Swan’. It was also known as the Land of Gold because it served as a great treasure or tomb for the kings of Nubia who lived there for thousands of years. Before the migration, Aswan's borders extended from Asna in the east to the border of Sudan in the south, and its inhabitants were Nubians, but after the Islamic conquest of Nubia, some Arab tribes settled there.

Information about the History of the Twelfth Dynasty in Ancient Egypt

05 16, 2023

One of the things we know about the history of the Twelfth Egyptian Dynasty is that its founder was King Amenemhat I, who was the minister of the last king of the Eleventh Dynasty, and this dynasty - the Twelfth - suffered great hardships to impose its control and legitimacy on the births of the previous dynasty, and was able to achieve success despite some serious crises.

This family held power for more than two hundred years. It did not lose control until one of the queens who became Pharaoh - called Skemiophris - in mysterious circumstances - and her policy and features of her rule extended to the next dynasty

The first period:
It is the period starting from the reign of King ‘Imnemhat I’ until the reign of King ‘Senwosret II’, in which the pharaohs tried to reconcile the conditions of the Tibetan inheritance from the state it was in during the first transition phase, as they assumed the task of continuing the Eleventh Dynasty, although they removed it from their path and with it the traditional methods of the ancient state - the traditional methods of the ancient state. For this reason, Lisht was chosen as an administrative capital close to Minph so that it could benefit from its cultural radiation (in the arts and religious sciences), but it was far from it to the south, and in a suitable location between Upper and Lower Egypt, which allowed it to retain its autonomy.

Second period:
This is the period from the beginning of the reign of King Snowsert II, where there has been a major change in State organs, with new jobs, a new class and new titles. The tasks and responsibilities of the workforce and production management have also been redistributed.
