The expulsion of the "Hyksos" followed a renewal of spiritual life and the visual art. The temple of the amun in Karnak and impressive Sphinx-Allele were built. With the terrace temple of the Hadschepsut, the construction of a number of royal death temples on the west bank of the Nile bei near Thebes began. At the beginning of the Amarna period and the rule of Akhenaten (Amenophis IV.), The colossal statues returned to "more human" standards. The king was no longer portrayed in his sublime divinity, but in the circle of his family with the symbol of the ray sun. By discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun and the treasures contained therein, we received a deep insight into art, culture and everyday life of an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty.
Among the subsequent kings Sethos I and Ramses II experienced Egypt with the large column hall of Karnak, the rock temple of Abu Simbel, among other things, which no longer allowed any further increase. In the plastic, the stone was replaced by metal. The Great Bronzes of the 22nd Dynasty finally passed on to the abundance of the gods and animal bronze of the late time.
