Final answer:
The information confirms that during the New Kingdom of Egypt, the kingdom's borders extended into Nubia and Syria due to military campaigns. Interest in lands beyond the Nile and international relations are evident, but interest in the Mediterranean cannot be confirmed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The map on page 120 of the textbook, in the context of the New Kingdom of Egypt, affirms several historical statements:
- During the New Kingdom, Egypt's boundaries pushed farther south than they ever had before, with the kingdom extending its control over regions of Nubia.
- The Egyptian military campaigns extended into Canaan and Syria to halt rivals like the Hittite kingdom and Mitanni, indicating that the New Kingdom extended into Syria.
- The pharaohs during the New Kingdom showed an active interest in cultivating relationships and establishing influence beyond their borders, including the known efforts to control trade routes and expand cultural influence.
However, there is no specific detail about their interest or lack thereof in lands across the Mediterranean Sea based on the provided information, so this statement cannot be confirmed.
