"The Reign of King Ahmose

King Ahmose (1575–1550 BCE)

After the dawn of a new era, representing the beginning of the New Kingdom and the inception of a new dynasty, as mentioned in the Manetho classification, which is fundamental in studying the history of ancient Egypt. This raises some questions about how Ahmose became the head of a new dynasty while being the brother of Kamose and the son of Seqenenre, who belong to the 17th dynasty according to Manetho's division. In reality, there was logic in this, as there was no actual change in the ruling family, but his reign was indeed distinguished from the previous era, marking a new chapter in Egypt's history.

Ahmose is considered to be the completer of the liberation from the Hyksos and the last hero in the War of Independence, and the founder of Egypt's military glory. However, some scholars, like Sharpe, classify Ahmose and his son Amenhotep I among the kings of the 17th dynasty, making Tetmosis I the founder of the 18th dynasty. However, this can be rebutted by the fact that Tetmosis I was from the same family. The Egyptians themselves presented Ahmose as the head of a new era in the coronation ceremonies, where priests carried statues of three kings: King Menes, Montuhotep II, and Ahnasun, each representing a distinct historical period of Egypt.

The name Ahmose consists of two words - "Ah" meaning moon, and "mos" which is a verbal form meaning son of the moon. The term "moon" is also found in other names from this dynasty, indicating the significance of moon worship at that time.

Ongoing discussions among scholars attempt to understand the reasons behind the use of these names, offering various interpretations, with some suggesting that the ruling family was originally associated with the Ashmoonians, and that the moon god was their deity. No archaeological evidence has been found for Ahmose before the fifth year of his reign, the year in which the Hyksos were expelled from Egypt.

In his fifth year, Ahmose erected a large stele in the Temple of Amun at Karnak, honoring his mother Iahhotep, emphasizing the importance of her worship in Abydos more than in Thebes.
