Sinuselt I also encouraged writers to produce masterpieces such as The Tale of Sinuhai, The Teachings of Amenemhet I, and The Teachings of the Loyalists. One of the most popular stories in Egyptian literature is The Tale of Shinukhai, which tells the life of a court servant. The servee remained loyal to the king after a series of trials and tribulations. This is essentially a propaganda story designed to reinforce the legitimacy of the Twelfth Dynasty, founded by Sinuset's father. It can be regarded as the earliest political propaganda work.

In the year, Sinuselt I continued his father's policy to invade Nubia (southern part of the first falls of the Nile in Sudan and Egypt).

In the year, Sinuselt I invaded Nubia for the second time.

With these two incursions, Sinuseld I confirmed Egypt's borders in the Second Falls of the Nile and marched south to occupy Wadi Halfa, where Nubia remains to what is today, with troops stationed there and a Victory Monument. This basically laid the foundation for the Second Fall, which became the border between present-day Egypt and Sudan. What is now Wadi Halfa is the territory of Sudan.

After that, he went on an expedition to an oasis in the Libyan desert.

Asia, attacking the gold fields of the Arabian Desert.

and established diplomatic relations with a number of city-states in Syria and the Canaanite region.

In his later years, he co-ruled with his son and died soon after.

His pyramid was also built in Sakkara, which may have been the reason why he buried his father in Sakkara because he loved the place.

The pyramids of the time and the temple of Amun at Karnak were designed by the vizier Mentuhotep.

The pyramids of this period were not built with the same care as during the Old Kingdom, and these pyramids were difficult to resist the erosion of time. The internal structure of the pyramid was made of mud bricks, which corroded soon after the leak on the outside. At the same time, rising groundwater flooded the burial chamber and caused the foundations to sink.

Amenemhat II, reigned: years.

His royal name was ''', which means 'Ra, the golden sun god''.

Amenemhat II, the son of Sinuselt I, succeeded to the throne of Egypt and was the third pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt.

During his reign, the Nubians paid tribute to Egypt.

Amenemhat II joined forces with his son, Sinuselt II, to ensure the continuity of the succession to the throne.

It has been suggested that the Sphinx was not built during the Khafre period of the Fourth Dynasty, but by Amenemhat II of the Twelfth Dynasty, because there were no records of the Sphinx in ancient Egypt before the Sixth Dynasty, and there were no records of the Sphinx after the Twelfth Dynasty.

His pyramid was built in Dashur> near Sakkara by Sinusellt II, reigned for years.

In the year, Amenemhat II's son, Sinuseld II, succeeded to the throne of Egypt and was the fourth pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt.

Sinusellt II means "Goddess Fog Sreate". His royal name was Ka Kaepel Ray, which means "Ra, the reborn sun god".

Unlike your successors, Sinusellt II maintained good relations with the provinces of Nomaz and the governors.

He did not govern in coalition with his son, Sinusellt III, breaking with the fine traditions maintained by the Middle Kingdom.

As in his father's time, Sinusellt II's reign was a period of relative peace, with more diplomacy than military means of dealing with neighbors. Expanded trade with Syria.

Sinusell II spent a lot of resources to build an embankment irrigation system in the Fayoum Oasis area of central Egypt to increase food production in the region.

The pyramid of Sinusellt II is located in Rahan, near Sakkara. Later, the Faiyum region became the main capital of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties.

Sinusel III, reigned in: year, also known as Sunwosler >, Sinusel II's son Sinusel III succeeded to the Egyptian throne and was the fifth pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt.

His court consisted of three ministers: Sobekemhat, Nepet, and Knukhateib. Ikeel Norfret managed the king's finances in Abydos.

In order to facilitate traffic between Nubia and Egypt and to allow ships to avoid the rapids of the First Fall, Sinusel III expanded the Sejole Canal around the First Fall. The minister, Senanke, was mainly responsible for the project.

Sinusellt III actively developed diplomatic and commercial relations with his neighbors in the eastern Mediterranean, such as Syria, Canaan (Palestine), Crete, and even as far away as Mesopotamia and Anatolia.

At the beginning of his reign, Sinuselt III faced a serious problem with how to weaken the power of the Nomaz (governors). The positions of these Nomaz have been hereditary since the end of the ancient dynasties. So much so that the wealth rights of these governors were comparable to those of the pharaohs, which was not conducive to the centralization of power.

In order for Egypt to become strong, it had to eliminate this situation, and Sinuselt III took quite effective measures to carry out extensive reforms of the regional regime.

The pharaoh divided Egypt into three regions: Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt and the capital Itawi, and Lower Nubia (the Nubian region south of the First Falls of the Nile and north of the Second Falls). Each region is governed by a vizier who resembles a prime minister, and he has a number of ministers and officials working for him. The most immediate consequence of this radical reform was the drastic erosion of the rights of the local aristocracy and the elevation of the rising middle class that served the government.

Sinusel III was the most powerful ruler of Egypt during the Twelfth Dynasty and the Middle Kingdom, and his reign was characterized by political stability, economic prosperity, the collapse of regional separatist forces, the revival of crafts, and the development of trade and cities.

Previously, the Nubian power extended further northward, and some nomadic tribes pushed the second waterfall of the Nile to the vicinity of the first waterfall.

Sinuseil III fought four battles with Nubia, each in \ years. The border between Egypt and Nubia was once again pushed from the First Falls to the Lower Nubian region of the Second Falls, and it was completely secured.

In order to protect his territory from Nubian invasion, Sinusell III built a strong defensive system, which included 8 defensive castles, erected on both sides of the Nile, including the fortresses of Buhan, Senam, and Toshka near the Second Fall. The task of the defenders stationed inside the fortified castle was to drive out the rival tribes. Therefore, only Nubians with a will for peace could cross this border into Egypt.
