Amenemhat III the builder of the Black Pyramid in Dashur &How to change the background with video

He was a pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from c.1860 BC to c.1814 BC.He was regarded as the greatest monarch of the Middle Kingdom. He may have had a long coregency (of 20 years) with his father, Senusret III [ multiple sovereigns or kings of a single state ].
Amenemhet III was handed a peaceful reign, his father Sesostris III had given him a land on good diplomatic terms with her northern neighbours, Nubia firmly under Egypt's control and the power of the Nomarchs finally ended.
The original picture


Towards the end of his reign he instituted a coregency with his successor Amenemhet IV, as recorded in a now damaged rock inscription at Konosso in Nubia, which equates Year 1 of Amenemhet IV to either Year 46, 47 or 48 of his reign. His daughter, Sobekneferu, later succeeded Amenemhat IV, as the last ruler of the 12th Dynasty. Amenemhat III's throne name, Nimaatre, means "Belonging to the Justice of Re."

His Family :-
His father: The pharaoh Sesostris III [the builder of the Sisostris Canal].

His principl wife: was Aat.
His daughters: Neferuptah and her sister, the Pharaoh Sobekneferu (“Beauty of Sobek”).
His son: The Pharaoh Amenemhat IV .


His reign :-
- His long reign of 45 years followed the policies of his predecessors of the 12th Dynasty - economic growth in Egypt was at an all time high, agriculture increased at the Fayum (it was here that Amenemhet III completed a land reclamation scheme probably started by his father, Sesostris III, this scheme was to gain 17,000 acres of farm land from the lake).


-He built his first pyramid at Dahshur "Black Pyramid" but there were construction problems and this was abandoned. Around Year 15 of his reign the king decided to build a new pyramid at Hawara near the Fayum . The pyramid at Dahshur was used as burial ground for several royal women.
His mortuary temple at Hawara, is accompanied by a pyramid and may have been known to Herodotus who praised it as a wonder of the world.
The king's pyramid at Hawara contained some of the most complex security features of any found in Egypt and is perhaps the only one to come close to the sort of tricks Hollywood associates with such structures. Nevertheless, the king's burial was robbed in antiquity.

-Amenemhet III also built temples at the Faiyum to the god Sobek and a temple to the cobra goddess at Maadi near Cairo.

-Mining operations also were concentrated on heavily - inscriptions show that mining in either the quarries of Egypt or in the Sinai date from Year 2 right up to Year 45 of his reign.

-At the Sinai Amenemhet III enlarged the temple to Hathor.
