		Amenhotep I had an interest in art and architecture and intiated elaborate building projects - such as the Karnak temple complex at Karnak (this element of Amenhotep I is once again documented, this time in the autobiography of Inheni the 'Chief of all Works at Karnak' - Theban tomb TT81).
		Amenhotep I was also the first pharaoh who separated his mortuary temple and tomb - these temples and tombs had been linked together since the Archaic Period, effectively 'advertising' the location of the tomb for tomb robbers.
		Amenhotep died in his forties, without an heir and so left the throne of Egypt to one of his military commanders - Tuthmosis I. The mummy of Amenhotep I was re-wrapped by priests of the 21st Dynasty - the wrapping was found to be so perfect that it has still not been unwrapped.
