Amenemhat II

The third pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty was the son of Pharaoh Senusret I and his wife, Queen Neferu III. He ruled for thirty-five years, part of which he spent as co-regent with his father and predecessor Senusret I, and later as co-regent with his own son and successor, Senusret II. This king established extensive trade relations with foreign commercial centers such as the land of Punt, Syria-Palestine, and even Cyprus. He was not as active in warfare or monumental construction as his father or grandfather, for the internal situation of Egypt during his reign was stable and prosperous thanks to the achievements of his predecessors. He is also known to have maintained friendly and cordial relations with several rulers in Syria and Palestine.
