AMENHOTEP III

Amenhotep III was also known as Amenhotep the Magnificent and was the ninth Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty. He ruled Egypt from June 1386 to 1349 B.C. Amenhotep III was Thutmose IV's son by a minor wife, Mutemwiya.

Amenhotep III's reign was a time of unprecedented prosperity and artistic splendour, when Egypt reached the peak of It's artistic and international power. (All information is from Wikipedia)
Amenhotep was born around 1388 B.C. and was a member of the Thutmosid family that had ruled Egypt for almost 150 years since the reign of Thutmose I.

Amenhotep III and his Great Royal Wife, Tiye, had 2/3 sons and possibly 4 daughters. He elevated 2 of his daughters --- Sitamun and Isis --- to the office of "great royal wife" during the last decade of his reign. He is also known to have married roughly six foreign women.

This Pharaoh has the distinction of having the most surviving statues of any Egyptian Pharaoh, with over 250 of his statues having been discovered and identified. Since these statues span his entire life, they provide a series of portraits covering the entire length of his reign. Another striking characteristic of Amenhotep III's reign is the series of over 200 large commemorative stone scarabs that have been discovered over a large geographic area. Their lengthy inscribed texts extol the accomplishments of the Pharaoh. Amenhotep III celebrated three jubilee Sed festivals, in his Year 30, Year 34, and Tear 37.
When Amenhotep III died, he left behind a country that was at the very height of its power and influence, commanding immense respect in the international world. He also bequeathed an Egypt that was wedded to its traditional political and religious certainties under the Amun priesthood.
