The 12th dyansty was such a great period of culture litterature,and conquest for the ancient kemetians. [/b][/QUOTE] I have 3 favorite pharaohs.Their achievements are listed below. Ahmose I (1570-1546) Expulsion of the Hyksos invaders, unification of the state, and creation of a new Dynasty. Burial:? Dra Abu el-Naga. Seti I (1291-1278) Art and culture reached new heights. Successful military campaigns into Syria-Palestine, and Libya. First campaign against the Hittites. Building work begins on the Great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak, and Temple of Abydos. Burial: Tomb KV17 Valley of the Kings. Amenemhet III (Nimaatre) (1817-1772 BC) completed the building of the great waterwheels of the Fayum, thus diverting the flood waters of the Nile into Lake Moeris. The irrigation system and an overflow canal, was used to drain the marshes. An estimated 153,600 acres of fertile land was reclaimed from the water. Amenemhet raised two colossal statues of himself nearby to celebrate this feat. Among his many achievements was the famous Labyrinth, also known as the Pyramid of Hawara, one of the great wonders of the ancient world. The central burial chamber of the pyramid, carved from a single block of granite, is estimated to have weighed 110 tons. His pyramidal tomb was built at Dashur, which he abandoned in favor of the Hawara Pyramid. Under Amenemhet copper was mined in the Sinai and local mines, often under dreadful conditions for the miners. [/QB][/QUOTE]
