When reconstructing the relations between Egypt and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah based on extra-biblical evidence, a different picture emerges compared to the biblical account: Close political and cultural connections are documented less for the beginning of the monarchic period during the legendary united monarchy than for its end during the late 8th to the early 6th century. The main factor for political contacts was Egypt’s internal unification. However, during the Third Intermediate Period in Egypt, this was only the case during a few short periods in which the ruling pharaohs, more or less successfully, pursued imperial ambitions in the Levant. Meanwhile, cultural relations between the two lands on the Nile and the southern Levant continued to exist even during phases of political fragmentation in Egypt. Yet, material sources indicate significant chronological and geographical differences regarding the intensity of cultural transfers from Egypt to the southern Levant, as well as their paths and mediators.
