1161 BCE to 1150 BCE
Egyptian government is corrupt and inefficient under Ramesses III, who had succeeded his father, Sethbakhte, as pharaoh.
Having thrice saved Egypt from foreign invasion, Ramesses III is unable to solve such internal problems as political conspiracies and weakened social structure.Royal power declines as the temples become richer and Ramesses poorer; he attempts building only one major structure.
Ramesses is himself nearly assassinated before being succeeded by his son Ramesses IV.
