Access roads to power in ancient Egypt

 The first method (genetics)

Different ways to access the kings of ancient Egypt to the royal throne throughout the Pharaonic

times, it did not take one way but there were many methods and techniques of genetic to political to religious to military to an occupying

 The way genetic, a task in ascending the throne in Egypt, the eldest son of King are not, after the death of King is the method used throughout the Pharaonic era, which was congratulated by Egypt periods of peace, however, there were some cases that allowed the king to his son that shared governance, especially in the era of the modern state As an example of the involvement of King Amenhotep and his son, King Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) with him in office is not a crown prince but the king has the same rights and powers of the king himself (1405-1367 BC)

In the absence of a legitimate heir of the King, ie when the king is not his sonand has a a daughter they have the right to ascend the throne as Queen of new replace her mother,though it does not control and is married to one of the ruling family who has the right to be king of the country ,such as Queen Betrayed Cao S, last queen of the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom)

 

In the case of the absence of the sons of the king shall be the right for his brother from his father that the King example is the family of King Khafre, the fourth state of old.

When the death of King Khufu's son, took over the large "paddle of Ra", who died after his father was not judged only eight years ago, did not have the Son of governance he withdrew after his brother King "Khafre". In rare cases, the queen will rule after the death of the king and become the ruling, for example, the Queen "Hatshepsut" After the death of her husband and her brother at the same time, "Thutmose II" took power and ruled Egypt alone for 21 years - the Eighteenth Dynasty the modern state (1490-1468 BC). m

The second method (political)

The politics play an important role in the lives of the Egyptians and the internal forces of the clergy who dominated the reins of government and control everything from the King for the youngest person in Egypt. When the death of the king ruling in the case of the absence of the children are strong his priests were chosen and one of them is the influence to marry the daughter of the king and then has the right to rule the country as it legitimate heir to the king for example, marriage celebrant, "Userkaf" the daughter of the King (Cbsskaf) the last king of the Fourth Dynasty and became a founding the Fifth Dynasty Old State (2560 - 2420) BC. m

After the death of King Tutankhamen and has no heir to the priest came to power (IE), and became king of Egypt after his marriage to the sister of "Tutankhamun" Greater ruled Egypt for only two years only. In cases of social revolutions over the kings of Egypt late in the Old and the entry of Egypt in the era of decay of the first 2200 BC, we find that the powerful provincial governors were able to at the time of independence from the central government of them and of the king and the collapse of the central government after 2200 BC. M. And became the independent ruler of all his own territory and gave himself the title of king. And tried every governor to spread its control over other regions Vtkont families governor in the north and south of the country made up later unified state of Egypt, such as: family Alonatvp at Thebes in 2100 BC. M is they who created the State Central For example, "Seqenenre" the founder of the modern state with Sons "Kamose" and his brother, "Ahmose I" in 1575 BC. m.

 The third way (the military)

 Was the dominant force on the things in Egypt is the power of the clergy are by nature do not tend to ascend the throne, but they tend to control the throne of Egypt through the King King in Egypt tool controlled by the priests on everything, such as that selected one of the leaders of the military commander, Horemheb 1332 - 1308 BC. m to take the throne of Egypt nearly 30 years, and ascended the throne after a military commander, another leader of Ramses for two years. The foundations of the Nineteenth Dynasty and was succeeded by his son's military commander and after the City took his son Ramses II, military commander, who was of the most famous kings of Egypt for the year 1290 - 1224 BC. M.

  Fourth method (the occupation)

Egypt suffered a campaign of foreign military from the end of the Twelfth Dynasty, represented by the entry of the Hyksos (1675 - 1575 BC). and the Libyans (945-720 BC). and the Nubians (730-665 BC). and then the Persians (525-404 BC). , and then Alexander the Great (332 BC).. Hence, we find that ascend the throne of Egypt is not one way, which is genetics, but there were many ways to ascend the throne
