	Egyptian Pharaohs : New Kingdom : Dynasty 18 : Horemheb
		Horemheb was one of the military and political advisors to Tutankhamun, and after Ay reigned for a short time, he took the throne.
		Horemheb does appear to be the pharaoh who began the systematic dismantling of Akhenaton's temples and the Aten temples of Amarna.
		Horemheb constructed the second, ninth, and tenth pylons at the Temple of Karnak using stones taken from the palaces in Amarna.

	Horemheb KV57 part 1
		In this scene, Horemheb is dressed as in the meetings with Isis and Osiris on the west wall, Horus wears a long sleeveless shirt, Hathor wears a splendid sleeveless dress, completely covered with feathers and wings.
		Horemheb is dressed as on the west wall, however, Hathor is represented in her usual manifestation, with cow's horns and solar-disk.
		The doorway between the Antechamber and the Burial Chamber depicts the passage of Horemheb towards the realm of the dead.

	The Ancient Egypt Site - The Memphite Tomb of Horemheb
		When the last king of the 18th Dynasty, Horemheb, was still in charge of Egypt's foreign policy and of the army for Tutankhamun, a private tomb was built for him to the south of the old causeway of Unas' Mortuary complex.
		Horemheb was not the first powerful courtier of the New Kingdom to build his tomb in this area: some blocks found in the 19th century belonged to some high officials a couple of generations older than Horemheb.
		Horemheb's architects were also able to re-use some of the already existing shafts for the tomb's substructure, which only needed to be extended here and there.

	Horemheb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Horemheb is believed to have originated from Herakleopolis Magna or ancient Hnes (modern Ihnasya el-Medina) on the west bank of the Nile near the entrance to the Fayum since his coronation text formally credits the God Horus of Hnes for establishing him on the throne.
		Upon his accession, Horemheb initiated a comprehensive series of internal reforms meant to curb the gross abuses of power and privileges that had begun under Akhenaten's reign, due to the overcentralization of state power and privileges in the hands of a few officials.
		Despite some scholarly debate, Horemheb's Highest Year date is likely attested in a hieratic graffito written on the shoulder of a now fragmented statue from his mortuary temple in Karnak which mentions the appearance of the king himself, or a royal cult statue representing the king, for a religious feast.

	Horemheb
		Horemheb served as commander of the army under King Tutankhamun.
		This was never used, since upon becoming a king, he preferred to build a royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings, in the vicinity of the ancient kings.
		Horemheb was succeeded by his vizier, Ramses 1, since he had no heir.

	Living in Truth by Charles N.Pope - Chapter 29:"To No One's Regret"(Horemheb Celebrated, but Not in Thebes)
		Late in the reign of Akhenaten, Horemheb was appointed by Akhenaten to succeed Ben-Hadad as king of Aram, and therefore was not technically a usurper.
		Horemheb claimed, among a great many other things, to be Tut's "Deputy," "Seal Bearer," i.e., Chancellor, and even "Prince Regent." This latter designation is consistent with the model presented here that Horemheb was made heir to the greater throne, with the one stipulation that he outlive Aye.
		The rival king Shalmaneser III of Assyria denigrated Horemheb (Hazael) as a "son of a nobody." In fact, the father of Horemheb was not a great king, neither was his grandfather.

	Horemheb
		Horemheb also began to rebuild law and order (especially in local government) which had apparently flourished under Akhenaten - the Pharaoh instituted law-courts in all the major cities (he then appointed priests from the local temples and mayors from the towns as judges in his law-courts and made them directly responsible to him).
		Horemheb's tomb was a change from the type of tomb that had been built before, both in its design and its decoration (on its walls were scenes from the Book of Gates (a religious text along the same lines of the Book of the Dead).
		Horemheb's tomb was discovered in 1907/08 by Theodore Davis, the decorations in the tomb were still in very good condition - although some of the columns and walls in the tomb were cracked and loose (caused by the movement of the hillside itself above the tomb).

		Horemheb restored the tombs of two of his predecessors, Tuthmosis IV and Tut'ankhamun, which had been invaded by robbers.
		Horemheb declared that officials of the state and provinces would be held accountable for cheating the poor, for pocketing funds, and for misappropriating the use of slaves, ships and other properties.
		Horemheb not only published his edict throughout the land but took inspection tours to make sure that all of the provisions were being carried out in the remote areas as well as in the cities.

	Pharaoh Horemheb
		Horemheb, of non royal origin, began his military career during the reign of Aakhenatun reign.
		Nevertheless, he was unable to seize power for himself at the death of Tutankhamun, and had to let the old man Ay assend to the throne for a few years.
		The civil tomb which Horemheb had construct for himself at Saqqara was rediscovered there a few years ago by G. Martin.

	Virtual Egyptian - Horemheb
		And with the Hittite military machine threatening Egypt, General Horemheb, commander in chief of the army and former royal spokesman for foreign affairs under Tutankhamun, took over the throne with little opposition in 1323 BC.
		Although much of Horemheb’s building activity was focused on dismantling all traces of the Amarnian revolution (he is rumored to have ordered the destruction of the city of Amarna), and restoring to Amen that which the Amarnians had usurped, he proved to be a resourceful builder in his own right.
		Horemheb apparently died without child or formally appointed successor, and his tomb was left unfinished (all of which suggest that his reign may have been much shorter than the 30 years argued by some).

	Horemheb, the Last King of Egypt's 18th Dynasty
		In addition to Horemheb's efforts of religious restoration, a stela on the north face of the Tenth Pylon at Karnak, which was duplicated at Abydos, describes the king's desire to remedy various excesses committed by servants of the state.
		Horemheb's close colleague during his early years, Maya, almost certainly served Akhenaten at Amarna and was probably the same person as May, who owned a tomb at Amarna.
		Many of Horemheb's successors in the 19th Dynasty considered him to be the founder of their line, which probably explains why a number of officials together with some royalty, such as princes Tia, the sister of Ramesses II, located their tombs near his at Saqqara.

	Horemheb
		Horemheb declared himself king in 1321 BC, married the sister of Nefertiti and promptly began eliminating all traces of Tutankhamun and the heretical worship of Aten, a practice begun by Tutankhamun's possible father, Akhenaten.
		Scattered in a side chamber were the remains of four individuals, possibly those of Horemheb's family, or possibly that of his predecessor, Ay.
		It is possible that the body of Horemheb was among those found and sold privately before the practice could be stopped.

	Ramesses I: Part III
		Perhaps by the time Horemheb realized that he would not be the founder of a dynasty, young Seti had married a soldier's daughter named Tuya, and had begun a family of his own.
		Horemheb's concern for religious matters was clear as early as Tutankhamun's Restoration Stela, for which he claimed responsibly by substituting his name for the young king's.
		And though Horemheb kept control of the military, particularly in the areas of war and peace, Pa-Ramessu was not entirely cut off from his old sphere and old comrades.

	Horemheb - his wives
		Her name appears in horemheb's memphite tomb (she is mentioned on a column found in the courtyard).
		She first appears in some of the early tomb reliefs at Amarna (she appears most in the tomb of her probable father - Ay), she is shown wearing a side-lock of hair and is thought to have been slightly older than her niece Meritaten (she sometimes also shown accompanied by two dwarfs).
		She is only seen in the earlier years of Akhenaten's reign, the next time she re-appears is on a coronation statue of Horemheb.

	TutInvestigation
		Horemheb was a devoutly religious man and historians know this because when Horemheb became Pharaoh around 1321 BC, he did his best to destroy the heretic king Akhenaten, aka, Tutankhamen’s father.
		Also, while Tut was a boy, Horemheb surely was able to enjoy a greater measure of power and a grown up king could be a threat to that (more on Horemheb).
		Horemheb took the throne, destroyed the heretic king for good, and usurped all that was done in the time of Tutankhamen and Ay’s rule and made it his own.

		Horemheb was a royal scribe and general of the armies at various times.

		Ay had nominally carried on the heretic religious practices of Akhenaten, and it would be Horemheb who would put an end to this.
		It should also be noted that early on, Ay began construction of one of the largest tombs at El-Amarna, containing the longer of the two surviving versions of the Hymn to the Aten.
		Horemheb had no heir so he appointed a military leader to succeed him.

	Virtual Egyptian - King Horemheb as Amun-Re, Dyn. 18
		This stone statue portrays King Horemheb, last king of Dynasty 18 (1321-1300 BC), as the god Amun-Re.
		All these personal traits are suggestive of a true portrait, rather than an abstract rendition of Egyptian classical canons—the portrait of a pharaoh with no blood tie to his dynastic predecessors, the portrait of General Horemheb.
		Sporadic traces of gold on the surface reveal that the whole statue was once gilded, save for the inlaid eyes of obsidian.
