  Ahmose - ArchaeoWiki
In this achievement, Ahmose built on the geopolitical gains of his father and brother and brought them to their logical outcome—both Seqenenre Tao and Kamose respectively had lost their lives in the wars against the Hyksos, leaving the throne and its responsibility to Ahmose at a relatively tender age.
Ahmose established the strong relationship with the central cult of the dynastic god Amun at Karnak that represents the primary expression of devotion amongst his New Kingdom successors.
The well-preserved mummified remains of Ahmose were found amongst the royal cache of mummies located in 1881 (having been removed in antiquity from his original burial) and are now housed in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.

 Ahmose I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ahmose I (sometimes read as Amosis I and meaning The Moon is Born) was a pharaoh of ancient Egypt and the founder of the Eighteenth dynasty.
Ahmose's reign can be fairly accurately dated using the Heliacal rise of Sirius in his successor's reign, but because of disputes over where the observation was made from, he has been assigned a reign from 1570-1546, 1560-1537, and 1551-1527 by various sources.
Ahmose did, however, reach at least as far as Kedem (thought to be near Byblos), according to an ostracon in the tomb of his wife, Ahmose-Nefertari.
