What period did Horemheb's rule follow?

  • "Old Kingdom"

  • "First Intermediate"

  • "Middle Kingdom"

  • "Amarna Period"

Answer

The Amarna Period, marked by significant religious and artistic changes, preceded Horemheb's rule. Akhenaten, the pharaoh of the time, introduced the worship of the sun god Aten and constructed a new capital city, Akhetaten, to honor this deity. This period of cultural upheaval and religious experimentation was followed by the reign of Horemheb, who restored traditional practices and oversaw a period of stability and restoration in ancient Egypt.
