Amenemhat II

Amenemhat II was the third pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty, who ruled from 1311 to 1298 B.C. in Upper Egypt at Thebes, and from 1298 to 1276 B.C. in Lower Egypt at Itjtawy. He succeeded his father Senusret I, was succeeded in the south by his son Senusret II, and was succeeded in the north by his grandson Senusret III. Not much is known about this pharaoh, in either the traditional or revised histories.

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

In 1311 B.C., Amenemhat I died, and Senusret I became pharaoh in the north. To assist, he appointed his son Amenemhat II pharaoh in southern Egypt. Amenemhat II's rule in the south was very uneventful, and he only became pharaoh in the north at his father's death in 1298 B.C.

After Amenemhat became pharaoh of Lower Egypt, he led several expeditions to the Levant. This was during the rule of Ehud in Israel. He ruled over the Levant and all of Nubia, who brought tribute. Amenemhat's reign was very peaceful, lasting until his death in 1276 B.C.
