The reign of the Egyptian New Kingdom dynasties that emerged out of the disunity of the previous Second Intermediate Period. The New Kingdom period is often considered a high water mark of the ancient Egyptian civilization and includes many of its most famous rulers, such as Ramesses II, Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Akhenaten, and Ramesses III. This period is also marked by immense civil construction projects and military expansion efforts from the Egyptian state.

An Ancient Egyptian religion that controversially came to prominence under the reign of Akhenaten of the New Kingdom's 18th Dynasty. Perhaps its most notable trait was a singular focus of cult worship on the Aten, represented by the image of the solar disk. As the monotheistic (or henotheistic) state religion of Egypt under Akhenaten, Atenism resulted in the suppression of the traditional Egyptian pantheon until Akhenaten's death in turn restored the traditional pantheon and led to the end of Atenism.
The story of the flight of the ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt as described by the Pentateuch. The precise basis for the story may be an amalgamation of events from the end of the Bronze Age, though generally speaking, historical consensus dismisses the conventional telling as largely non-historical.

Archive Density
67%4 of the 6 titles the archive sets between 1570 BCE and 1069 BCE are tagged New Kingdom Egypt itself.
This measure can help illustrate cinematic hotspots within a time period by comparing which years of the overarching, actual historical time period are backed up by a cinematic release.
12 years on the timeline fall inside the boundaries, 7 of them with nothing set there yet. The filled part of each bar is the share carrying this period.
Share of the 10 genre taggings across 4 titles set in this period. A title filed under three genres is in three of these slices, so this is a share of taggings rather than of titles.
Films only. Co-directors are counted individually, so a director’s solo work and their collaborations are grouped together. Average saltiness ignores any title still unsalted.
Also on the Timeline
Part of and part of it are declared by the archive: one period counted as belonging to another, whatever their dates. Periods overlap freely so concurrent means the two spans share years, and the shared stretch is named. Bounded means it lies wholly inside this one, beginning and ending more than 10 years within its boundaries. Before and after are the nearest periods lying outside this one, with the gap in years shown instead. A shared thread is what the two have in common besides the calendar, and a period lying wholly outside this one can still share one.
