readx;? Many large structures were erected during the reign of Amenemhat I, including even the Temple of Amun at Mutmut. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Religiously, the god Amun, the god of war, the supreme god of Thebes, has become the supreme god in all of Egypt.
It is worth noting that we find that the wealth of the royal family is slowly increasing. Even the standard middle-class Egyptians were increasing, but their level of wealth growth was proportional to the level of growth of the royal family.
Amenethat I was a wise leader, and he spared no effort in the training of his successor, allowing the crown prince to govern in coalition with him very early, and he was also very effective in defending against external threats, and reformed the centralized system. However, it is a pity that Amenemhart I died in a palace coup.
There are two literary works that introduce this event, one called and one called, which reflect the tragic end of this king. The latter pretended to say in the tomb of the slain Amenemhat I:
"After dinner, night fell, and I slept soundly in bed for an hour. As I slept in my bed, I became slack, and my heart began to follow the sleep. When my guards rushed in waving their weapons, I was like a snake in a cemetery. When I woke up, I found that it was an attack by a guard. If I had been able to pick up arms quickly, I might have been able to retreat in time. But at night there was no one to bring weapons for me, no one to fight for me, and no one to help me. Behold, I am wounded, but without the protection of you guards, and without the cries of you, and without me sitting with you, it might not have happened, because I did not expect, nor did I foresee, and I did not expect that the guards should be so negligent. ”
After the murder of Amenemhat I, his body was buried in a mausoleum near the new capital, not in Thebes, but it is said that the pyramid has been abandoned, and the one in Thebes has been built, so is there a direct connection between his death and the crown prince, so that he was hastily buried in the abandoned pyramid?
Sinusel I-I, reign: 45 years, BC 1947-1902.
Amenemhat I had three wives: the queen and his sister Neferrut, who was also the mother of Amenemhart II, and another queen, Nefrita Tatyen.
In 1947, Sinuselt I was originally organizing military operations in Asia (Sinai Peninsula), but after hearing of his father's assassination, he quickly returned to China and succeeded to the throne of Egyptian pharaoh in chaos.
In 1937, Sinusel I continued his father's policy of invading Nubia.
In 1929, King Sinusellt I invaded Nubia for the second time.
With these two incursions, Sinuseld I confirmed the borders of Egypt in the area of the Second Falls of the Nile. There it was stationed in the army to guard the Victory Monument. It also attacked the Libyan desert in the western Sand Sea. Diplomatic relations were established with a number of city-states in Syria and the Canaanite region.
A number of large buildings were built, especially in Heliopolis, where the Ra-Atum temple was built in the center of sun worship.
His pyramid was also built near the new capital, which may have been the reason why he buried his father near the new capital, as he loved the place.
Amenemhart II, reign: 35 years, BC 1902-1867.
His royal name is '-re', which means 'gold is the soul of the god Ra'.
In 1902, Amenemhat II, son of Sinusel I, succeeded to the throne as pharaoh of Egypt.
In 1869, Amenemhart II joined forces with his son, Sinusel II, to ensure 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.
Sinuselt II, reigned 19 BC 1867-1849.
In 1867, Sinuselt II, son of Armenemhat II, succeeded to the throne as pharaoh of Egypt.
Sinusellt II means "Goddess Fog Sreate". His royal name is Kaeper Ray Er-Re, which means the rebirth of the soul of the god Ra. His royal cemetery was moved from Tashur to Eller-Lahoune-el-. Since then, both the Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties have made it their capital.
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.
Sinuselt III, reign: 39 years, BC 1849-1810.
In 1849, Sinuseil III, son of Sinuset II, succeeded to the throne as pharaoh of Egypt.
The Shysos Canal was built by Sinusel III, the most powerful Egyptian ruler of the Twelfth Dynasty, during which he was politically stable, economically prosperous, dismantled regions, revival of crafts, and the development of trade and cities.
Sinusel III built the canal to pass through the First Falls and expand his kingdom to Nubia, where he established river fortresses in places such as Buhan, Senmna and Toshka.
He fought four major battles with Nubia, BC1841183918331830.
After 1829 BC, Sinusel II and Sinusel III began to govern in coalition.
His court consisted of three ministers: Sobekemhat, Nepet, and Knukhateib. Ikeel Norfret managed the king's finances in Abydos. Senanque cleared the canal for the king in Seholle.
The pyramid of Sinuselt III was erected in Tashur and was the largest pyramid of the 12th Dynasty.
