| AMENEMHA. Amenemha
I., the first king of the XIIth Egyptian dynasty. He ascended
the throne in troublous times, conquered the Magui, and built a great
palace at Heliopolis. He is supposed to have been attacked by
conspirators in his ninth year, after which he reigned jointly with his
son and successor, Osirtasen I., for seven years longer. He is the
first Egyptian king who is recorded to have hunted the lion and the
crocodile. The kings of this line are called Amenmai Thori by Sharpe
in his History of Egypt. Amenemha II., a king of the XIIth
dynasty. He succeeded Osirtasen I., and continued the Southern wars
of Egypt. He reigned at least forty-four years, but little is
recorded of the events of his reign. Amenemha III., the
greatest king of the XIIth dynasty. He conceived the grand project
of saving Egypt from the dangers alike of draught and inundation, by
converting the low land, now called the Fayoum, into a vast reservoir of
fresh water. The lake thus constructed was known to the Greeks as
the lake Moeris. It had an area of 10,000,000 square metres, and a
portion of it still forms the swamp called Birket Kerun. He also
built two pyramids beside it, for the burial of himself and his wife; and
is said further by the Greeks to have constructed a famous labyrinth, of
which the remains existed in the time of Diodorus Siculus. Amenemha
IV., an Egyptian king of the XIIth dynasty; the successor of Amenemha
III. He continued the works at the mines of the Wady Magara, near
Sinai, and he and his sister were buried in the pyramids of Amenemha
III. Amenemha, a royal scribe, whose monument is in the
Leyden Museum. Period uncertain, probably of the XVIIIth
dynasty. Amenemha, the brother of Senbu a priest of
Osiris. His period is uncertain. (An Archaic Dictionary, Cooper, 1876).
