	Dynasty 12 - OnlineEncyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		After the reigns Mentuhotep III and Mentuhotep IV of Dynasty 11 ended, there was a smooth transition into the illustrious Dynasty 12.
		Senusret I (1917 BC - 1872 BC) continued the policy of his father by recapturing Nubia and other territories lost during the First Intermediate Period.
		Senusret's successor Amenemhat II (1875 BC - 1840 BC) made the position of the nomarchs hereditary again (weakening the centralized government though) and established trade connections with Nubia and a war seems to be conducted in the Levant.

	12th Dynasty - Senusret III, Amenemhet III, Amenemhet IV, Nefrusobek
		Senusret III's statuary is much loser in terms of the rigid ideological representations of earlier kings and illustrates a shift in both the function of art and a change in the ideology surrounding the king.
		Senusret III was most surely the son of Senusret II, changing a trend of having alternate leaders named Senusret and Amenemhet.
		Senusret III is further attested by blocks from a doorway found near Qantir and by his rock inscriptions near the island of Sehel south of Aswan that record the reopening of the bypass canal.

	Egyptian Pharaohs : Middle Kingdom : Dynasty 12 : Senusret III
		Militarily, Senusret led at least one campaign against Palestine, and a high number of "Execration texts" -- written texts that were then destroyed, perhaps to symbolically destroy the subject -- show that he had a distinct anti-Asiatic policy.
		Senusret III was well known for his support of the middle class -- the farmers, merchants, artisans and traders -- and these groups saw an increase in their influence and power.
		Senusret, however, is shown as an aging man -- at least in his older face, with rings under his eyes and wrinkles.

		Senusret I was the second king of the 12th Dynasty and ascended to the throne after the murder of his father, Amenemhet I. There had apparently been a harem plot, and with good timing, Amenemhet I was assassinated in the absence of his son, who was fighting in Libya.

	Thutmose III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thutmose III was the son of Pharaoh Thutmose II and Isis, a minor wife.
		Although Thutmose III was a co-regent during this time, historians have speculated that Thutmose III never forgave his step-mother for denying him access to the throne for the first 2 decades of his reign.
		Rather, it is more widely accepted today that Thutmose III may have simply decided to erase the memory of Hatshepsut's from the historical records because under Egypt's deeply conservative and hierarchical political system, only men were supposed to rule the state while women were expected to remain loyal to their husbands and nourish their households.
