After defeating the Hyksos in 1500 B.C.E., under the reign of Thutmose II, the Egyptian elite faced a crisis. Several factions developed with differing opinions over how Egypt should conduct itself now that they were free of the foreign invaders. Should they return to the "old ways", launch invasions and expand their territory or concentrate on strengthening Egypt through trade. Dr. David Neiman explains the situation.
