Ahmose I came to power in the mid-16th century BC and finished what his predecessors couldn't: the complete expulsion of the Hyksos occupiers and the restoration of native Theban rule over all Egypt. He didn't stop at the borders - he reasserted control over Nubia and Canaan, territories Egypt had lost. Then he turned inward: reorganized the state, reopened quarries and mines, revived trade routes, and launched construction projects on a scale not seen since the Middle Kingdom. His pyramid would be the last built by an Egyptian-born ruler. What he set in motion became the Eighteenth Dynasty and the New Kingdom - the era when Egypt hit its apex.
