:''See Amenemhat, for other individuals with this name.'' Nubkaure Amenemhat II was the third pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, born to Senusret I and his chief wife, Queen Neferu. Little is known of his 34-year reign, which began in 1929 BCE, not even the name of his queen.〔Peter Clayton, Chronicle of the Pharaohs, Thames & Hudson Ltd, (1994), p.81〕 His throne name, Nubkaure, means "Golden are the Souls of Re."〔Clayton, p.78〕 The most important record of his reign is on fragments of an annal stone from Memphis (later reused in the New Kingdom). It chronicles his early years, including his donations to various temples, Nubians from Kush coming to pay tribute, a campaign to Syria and the destruction of two cities. Amenemhat II established a coregency with his son Senusret II in his 33rd regnal year, to secure the continuity of the royal succession. His White Pyramid was constructed at Dahshur. Several royal women were entombed beside it, some with golden jewellery. Four tombs (three royal) remained undisturbed until 1894/5 CE, when they were found by Jacques de Morgan.〔(Untitled information on White Pyramid burials )〕 Amenemhat's court is little known. Senusret and Ameny were the viziers early in his reign. Two treasurers are known: Merykau and Zaaset. The overseer of the gateway, Khentykhetywer, is known from a stela, where he reported an expedition to the Land of Punt. == Succession == Amenemhat II and his son, Senusret II, shared a brief coregency, the last one of the Middle Kingdom, as far as historians are certain. The stela of Hapu at Aswan dates to the 3rd year of Senusret II and to the 35th year of Amenemhat, meaning that Senusret was crowned in his father's 33rd regnal year.〔Murnane, William J.
