Senusret I

Senusret I was the second pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty, who ruled from 1341 to 1311 B.C. in Upper Egypt at Thebes, and from 1311 to 1298 B.C. in Lower Egypt at Itjtawy. He succeeded his father Amenemhat I, and was succeeded by his son Amenemhat II. Much is known about this pharaoh.

Senusret was the son of Amenemhat I, who was the son of Senusret. He had multiple sons, but the only one of note to the revised history was Amenemhat II.

In 1341 B.C., after Amenemhat united Egypt and defeated the rulers of the 13th and 14th Dynasties, he needed assistance to keep Egypt whole. He appointed his eldest son, Senusret I, to rule in the south. He did so without problem, and even conquered Nubia in two military campaigns (1332 and 1324 B.C.), until 1321 B.C., when a failed assassination attempt incapacitated Amenemhat, forcing Senusret to take a larger leadership role.

Senusret ruled as pharaoh of both Upper and Lower Egypt, alongside his father Amenemhat I, for the next ten years. Senusret I then moved to the north, and appointed his son Amenemhat II to rule at Thebes in the south. This situation continued for 13 years, during which Senusret built many monuments and Egypt prospered, until his death in 1298 B.C.
