	Egypt: Amenhotep III, the Ninth King of Egypt's 18th Dynasty
		Even in recent years, some statuary of Amenhotep III continues to be discovered, such as an incredible six foot (1.83 meter) high pink quartzite statue of the king standing on a sledge and wearing the Double Crown of Egypt.
		It is likely that Amenhotep III was deified during his own lifetime, and that the worship of the sun god, Aten, by his son may have directly or indirectly also involved the worship of his father.
		For many years, it was also though that Amenhotep III's body was also a part of that cache, but fairly recent analysis indicates that the body thought to be his may instead by that of his son, or possibly even Ay, one of the last kings of the 18th Dynasty.

	e. The New Kingdom and the Third Intermediate Period (18th-24th Dynasties). 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		Amenophis built an enormous mortuary temple at Thebes, including two enormous statues of himself, the Colossi of Memnon (65.6 ft. high).
		Although Amenophis made diplomatic marriages with two daughters of Mitannian kings, his chief wife was Queen Tiy, the daughter of a Nubian general.
		The scenes of Ramses III's victory are shown on the walls of the mortuary temple at Medinet Habu.

	Karnak - LoveToKnow 1911
		Tethmosis III., greatest of the Pharaohs, remodelled the buildings about the obelisks of his unloved sister with the deliberate intention of hiding them from view, and largely reconstructed the surroundings of the court.
		At a later date, after his wars were over, he altered Hatshepsut's sanctuary, engraving on the walls about it a record of his campaigns; to this time also is to be attributed the erection of a great festival hall at the back of the temple.
		The closely crowded succession of broad pylons here suggests a want of space for westward expansion, and this is perhaps explained by a trace of a quay found by Legrain in 1905 near the southern line of pylons; a branch of the Nile or a large canal may have limited the growth.

	Temple at Luxor - Amenophis III - Great Buildings Online
		The illustration shows remains of the forecourt, with papyrus-bud capitals and a seated colossus of Rameses, connected by twin colonnades, 53 m (174 ft) long, to a lesser court by Amenophis in the distance.
		The twin colonnades of bell-capital columns, 12.8 m (42 ft) high, were the only part ever built of a grand hypostyle hall projected by Amenophis, or by the last king of his dynasty, Horemheb.
		Amenophis III also built a mortuary temple on the west bank at Thebes, but little survives except the twin seated statues of himself, originally 20.8 m (68 ft) high, famous from ancient time as the Colossi of Memnon."

	Egyptian Account of the Leper's Exodus
		Amenophis the king (or Hor, a sobriquet) is Amenophis Ill, and his desire to see the gods a folk interpretation of passages from his inscriptions (101).
		He communicated his desire to his namesake Amenophis, who was the son of Papis, and one that seemed to partake of a divine nature, both as to wisdom and the knowledge of futurities.
		Amenophis accordingly chose out two hundred and fifty thousand of those that were thus diseased, and cast them out of the country.

	The True Date of the Exodus
		Amenophis II is said to have been warned of the catastrophe that would befall Egypt at the Exodus by the famous Egyptian prophet Amenophis son of Hapu.
		Amenophis II is said after the catastrophic departure of the Israelites to have given his 5 year old son "Sethos-Ramesses" to a friend for safekeeping, and to have promptly marched south with his army, being welcomed and entertained for the period of 13 years by the Ethiopian king.
		Amenophis II was not followed on the throne by his natural heir, it may be presumed because of the death of the firstborn, but instead by an inferior son, Thutmosis IV, who, according to Manetho, held a position of leadership in the army of Thutmosis III before the departure of the Israelites.

	JewishEncyclopedia.com - TELL EL-AMARNA:
		After the death of Amenophis the old religion reasserted itself, the royal residence was soon moved back to Thebes, and the city which he had been at so much pains to build fell into decay.
		As the reign of Amenophis was less than twenty years, the occupation of his new capital can not have been long.
		The position of the palace of Amenophis was discovered by Petrie during his excavation at El-Amarna in 1891-92.

	World Art Treasures:Tel el-Amarna
		Amenophis III was enthroned as King of Egypt in 1408 BCE.
		Amenophis, who became Amenophis IV, was to abandon the eternal order of things as inherited from his forefathers: he would change his name from Amenophis (also spelled Amenhotep) toAkhenaten, and he would leave Thebes, the official capital, to found a new domain and order.
		Those who reject her royal lineage think that Amenophis married Tiye as an act of bravado, to break with the tradition obliging heirs to the throne to marry women with blood of the gods.

	The religious revolution of Akhenaton
		Amenophis III had expected gratitude for the beautiful temples he had built, so he then attacked the clergy, closed the temples to Amon, and got rid of the priests.
		Thus it is not surprising that Amenophis (son of Hapou) would be the inspirer of the new state religion instituted by Amenophis IV, the future Akhenaton.
		He became the intimate friend and counselor of Amenenophis III and thus had no difficulty in approaching the young prince, who was the heir and future co-regent.
