"Son of Amen": During the Middle Kingdom, the princes of Thebes rose to power after reuniting the Two Lands which had been in civil strife. And with them the local god Amen also gained importance. But it was in the New Kingdom, with the rise of Thebes as a religious and political hub of activity, that the cult of Amen rose to prominence and a new syncretic form, Amen-Re, came to be known throughout the land to its limit as "Amen-Re king of the gods."
