Amenemhat II in Wikipedia
Nubkhaure Amenemhat II was the third pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Not much is known about his reign. He ruled Egypt for
35 years from 1929 BC to 1895 BC and was the son of Senusret I through the latter's chief wife, Queen Nefru.[1] His queen is not known;
although recently a certain king's wife' named Senet has been proposed. His prenomen or throne name, Nubkaure, means "Golden are the Souls
of Re."[2]
The most important monument of his reign are the fragments of an annal stone found at Memphis, reused in the New Kingdom. It reports events
of the first years of his reign. Donations to various temples are mentioned as well as a campaign to Southern Palestine and the destruction
of two cities. The coming of Nubians to bring tribute is also reported. Amenemhat II established a coregency with his son Senusret II in his
33rd Regnal Year in order to secure the continuity of the royal succession.
His pyramid was constructed at Dahshur and is only little researched. Next to the pyramid were found the tombs of several royal women some
of them were found undisturbed and still contained golden jewellery.
The court of the king is not well known. Senusret and Ameny were the viziers at the beginning of the reign. Two treasurers are known:
Merykau and Zaaset. The overseer of the gateway Khentykhetywer is attested on a stela, where he reports an expedition to Punt.
Succession
Amenemhat II and his son, Senusret II, shared a brief coregency, which was the last certain one of the Middle Kingdom. The stela of Hapu at
Aswan dates to the third year of Senusret II and to the 35th year of Amenemhat, meaning that Senusret was crowned in his father's 33rd
regnal year.[3] The name of the younger king is placed ahead of the senior king, which may possibly indicate that Senusret was the dominant
personality in the coregency even before his father died, although such speculation is based on far too little evidence for a fair
evaluation one way or the other.[4]
