:''See Amenemhat, for other individuals with this name.'' Amenemhat I, also Amenemhet I and the hellenized form Ammenemes, was the first ruler of the Twelfth Dynasty, the dynasty considered to be the golden-age of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. He ruled from 1991 BC to 1962 BC.〔D Wildung, L'Âge d'Or de L'Égypte - le Moyen Empire, Office de Livre, 1984〕 Amenemhat I was probably same as the vizier named Amenemhat who led an expedition to Wadi Hammamat under his predecessor Mentuhotep IV, and possibly overthrew him from power.〔http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/mentuhotep4.htm〕 Scholars differ as to whether Mentuhotep IV was killed by Amenemhat I, but there is no independent evidence to suggest this and there may even have been a period of co-regency between their reigns.〔E. Hornung, ''History of Ancient Egypt'', 1999 p.50〕 Amenemhet I was not of royal lineage, and the composition of some literary works (the ''Prophecy of Neferti'',〔M. Lichtheim, ''Ancient Egyptian Literature'', 1973 p.139〕 the ''Instructions of Amenemhat''〔M. Lichtheim, ''Ancient Egyptian Literature'', 1973 p.135〕) and, in architecture, the reversion to the pyramid-style complexes of the 6th dynasty rulers are often considered to have been attempts at legitimizing his rule. Amenemhat I moved the capital from Thebes to Itjtawy and was buried in el-Lisht. ==Early reign== There's some evidence that the early reign of Amenemhat I was beset with political turmoil, as indicated by the inscriptions of Nehri, a local governor.〔Alan B. Lloyd, ed. (''A Companion to Ancient Egypt.'' ) Volume 52 of Blackwell Companions to the Ancient World. John Wiley & Sons, 2010 ISBN 1444320068 p.88〕 There were some naval battles where an associate of Amenemhat I by the name of Khnumhotep I was involved, and helped to procure victory. Later, Khnumhotep was appointed as an important local governor at Beni Hasan, and he founded a dynasty of local governors there. His grandson was Khnumhotep III.〔Toby Wilkinson, (''The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt.'' ) Random House LLC, 2011 ISBN 0679604294 p.143〕 In the inscriptions by Khnumhotep, mention is also made of military campaigns against the Asiatics and the Nubians.〔(Pharaoh: Amenemhat I (Sehetepibre) ) euler.slu.edu〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amenemhat I」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
