	Waset ~ Ancient Worlds Egypt
		On the edge of the desert in Waset, situated just to the north of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III and to the south of the Ramesseum, is the mortuary temple of Merenptah, son of Ramses II and the fourth king of the Nineteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom.
		While Merenptah's dismantling and plundering of a predecessor's temple may seem unsavory, it was not unusual for the period and in fact, by his use of material from the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III in the foundations, he helped preserve a piece of the history of Egypt.
		The dismantling of the temple of Amenhotep III for building materials was probably due to the lack of time in which Merenptah had to construct his own mortuary temple, considering his age when he became Pharaoh.

	IV HISTORY
		Having noted that the topographical lists from the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III show that Minoan and Mycenaean place names were known in the XVIIIth Dynasty and that the Mycenaean expansion is clearly visible in them, the author turns to the Thera cataclysm.
		This Karnak text and the Israel Stela, summarize the king's achievements, but mention no further wars and campaigns, as was proposed in AEB 80.472, basing on the assumption that Ramses III had copied some of his war scenes at Medinet Habu from Merenptah's badly ruined mortuary temple.
		It is concluded that the coregency ran from in year 28 to year 38/9 of Amenhotep III, that the four tombs studied were constructed in the Theban period of Amenhotep IV.

	Soleb - Ancient Near East .net
		Designed for the king by Amenhotep son of Hapu, together with the pharaoh's mortuary temple in Western Thebes, the temple at Soleb was dedicated to the cults of the dynastic god Amun-Re and that of "Nebma'atre, lord of Nubia".
		The decorative scheme of Soleb temple includes partially-preserved scenes from the first Sed festival of Amenhotep III (the wall around the second court), in addition to reliefs depicting the rituals of 'striking the doors' and 'illuminating the dias' which preceded the jubilee itself.
		The latter, of course, represented the deified Amenhotep III himself, depicted as a god with the attributes of Amun and those of a lunar deity.

	ARCE abstract 1992
		Rây was an important individual who held high priestly titles in at least five temples and cults in Western Thebes, including: the mortuary temple of Tuthmosis III, the Eighteenth Dynasty Temple at Medinet Habu, Tuthmosis III's temple at Deir el-Bahari, and the mortuary temple of Amenhotep I and Ahmose-Nefertari.
		The tomb of Rây is unique among all private tombs in Thebes, since with its system of colonnades, terraces, and inter-connecting ramps, it emulates the style of a royal terrace-temple of the period, such as the temples of Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III at Deir el-Bahari and the mortuary temple of Tuthmosis III at Gurna.
		The tomb of Ahmose dates to the reign of King Tuthmosis III, while that of Rây was built and decorated under the reign of King Amenhotep II.
