| | Tribute to a Conquering King |
 | | Ahmose, descended from a princely Theban family, accomplished this, building on the efforts of his immediate predecessors, Seqenenre Tao and Kamose, and aided by female members of the royal house, such as his mother, Ahhotep, and grandmother, Tetisheri. |
 | | The Ahmose complex in its entirety presents a unique combination of monuments that must have been extremely impressive in their day, reminding visitors of the achievements of this dynasty's founding men and women. |
 | | We hope next season to continue to investigate a broad area to the east of the pyramid temple that was used first as a staging area for construction activities, such as brickmaking and stone carving, and later for the production of the bread and beer central to the daily functioning of the temple. |
