The Beginning of the End.......

1352 B.C. to 1336 B.C.
The fall of Egypt all started when some crazy Pharaoh named Akhenaten went all zealous, and tried to completely change the standing religion into one that only worshiped the sun.  So this guy used the military to try to destroy all remnants of the old religion.  Well...most people didn't like this too much, so there was major opposition to the conversion.  Civil war was always on the brink, and eventually, Akhenaten died, the old religion came back, and peace was restored for some time.  Then came Ramses III.........
