The Life of AmenhotepIII

                                                 Introduction +Family


                               In my following paragraphs I will include that Amenhotep III was the ninth
    pharoah of Egypt 18th dynasty. During his time as Egypt's pharoah, Amenhotep uplifted 
    Egypt with peace as he reigned of pharoah from age 12 to age 50. Amenhotep was known for       his artistic abilities and beauty for all the construction sites built. The mother in which gave       birth to Amenhotep was Queen Mutemwifa while the father is ThutmoseIV.   
                              Amenhotep believed to have 317 wives with his favorite Queen Tiy. They               married at age 12 surprisingly. Queen Tiy believed to be the first Queen to have official acts  
    and believed to be very clever. Amenhotep's time as pharoah was in no great danger. During 
      his life as pharoah the Nile River flourished perfectly, the trading route improved, and the
     gold supply.

                                                                       History
    


                               During the the time period of Amenhotep's pharoah living the main focus of             Egypt was construction. Starting the pharoah life from age 12 to 50 Amenhotep                             constructed such splendid temples and monuments such as the temple Malkota. The most
        famous monument Amenhotep created was the temple of Amun which is known for its                 ruins and remains. Present day Amun is known for a popular tourists attraction.
                               In Amenhotep's death at age 50 he died of an unknown disease. It is said that            during Amenhotep's reign the time period was called the Golden Age. After Amenhotep's
         death it left a bad impact on Egypt as he left behind his monuments, his son to take over
         his favorite wife Tiye, and later the Amarna Period. The Amarna Period is  a time where 
         several buildings,temples,and monuments where left along the Nile with Akhenetan the
         son of Amenhotep as pharoah.


                   
                                   The Monuments Built by Amenhotep+The Famous Discovery


                                During Amenhotep's time he lead Egypt to his artistic abilities building 
         splendid monuments with statuary. Some buildings that Amenhotep constructed is
         the famous Temple of Amun which is present day Luxor. Now I might've mention this
         but this monument is a great movement in Amenhotep's pharoah life. Other construction            sites are the Temple of Karnak and the Hopostyle Wall. This great monument was the 
         coronation of Amenhotep.
                                Near the Nile River not only did Amenhotep construct monuments but he
         constructed palaces. Such as the palace of Malkata. In this palace it contains small                        chapels,large audience halls,parades,kitchens,offices,workshops,grounds,and servants.
         For the death of Amenhotep he was buried in his own creation which was The Valley 
         of the Kings
