Invasions and economical problems
Internal conflicts and famine
A radical shift in religious beliefs
Suppression of artistic and cultural expression
Answer
The decline of the New Kingdom began during Ramesses III's reign, as a result of invasions and economical problems. The Sea Peoples, a group of marauders from the Mediterranean, launched a series of attacks on Egypt, which weakened the country. In addition, Egypt's economy was struggling due to a lack of resources and a decline in trade. These factors combined to cause the New Kingdom to decline and eventually fall.
