	Sesostris I
		Sesostris I took major campaigns in Syria, Nubia and Libya.
		Sesostris I then continued as sole king of Egypt, he increased the power of the monarchy and increased Egypt's influence abroad using diplomacy when dealing with Palestine and Syria - (although he did send some military expeditions against the Libyans).
		When he died, Sesostris I was buried in his pyramid at Lisht (a mile south from his father's pyramid) - this pyramid is the best preserved from the 12th Dynasty, and it revived the layout of the Old kingdom pyramid complexes.

		Sesostris is said by Manetho to have reigned sixty-six years, and we find on monuments the sixty-second year of his reign.

		His latest effort, Coronation of Sesostris, the intermittently exquisite, 10-part Homeric narrative now lining three of Gagosian's uptown walls, is the most specific, focused and challenging painting Twombly's made in years.
		Coronation of Sesostris echoes some of the erotic tenor and violence of the early work, though in the mournful minor keys of yearning and homesickness.
		Sesostris is the name of three 12th-dynasty Egyptian pharaohs, but the exoticness of the word summons something ageless, if a little ponderous.

	Sesostris - LoveToKnow 1911
		According to Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus (who calls him Sesoosis) and Strabo, he conquered the whole world, even Scythia and Ethiopia, divided Egypt into administrative districts or nomes, was a great law-giver, and introduced a system of caste and the worship of Serapis.
		Khian, the powerful but obscure Hyksos king of Egypt, whose prenomen might be pronounced Sweserenre, is perhaps a possible prototype, for objects inscribed with his name have been found from Bagdad to Cnossus.
		Sesostris is evidently a mythical figure calculated to satisfy the pride of the Egyptians in their ancient achievements, after they had come into contact with the great conquerors of Assyria and Persia.

	Middle Kingdom literature and concepts of Egyptian kingship
		In the building inscription of Sesostris I, there is a section where the courtiers praise the king for his plan to build a temple (Lichtheim 1975, 117).
		Therefore in the instruction of king Amenhet I for his son Sesostris I, the description of the attack on the king is vague, so much so that it was originally thought that Amenhet I survived the attack on his life (Lichtheim 1975, 135).
		In a cycle of hymns to king Sesostris I, the whole of the first hymn is devoted to praising his prowess as a warrior (Lichtheim 1975, 198).

	EOE-Head of Sesostris III
		In this over-life-size sculpture in the round, Sesostris III is portrayed with a prominent, overhanging brow-ridge; heavy-lidded and deeply set eyes with pouches underneath; a drawn-down curving mouth with shallow lines at the corners; high cheek bones that appear to protrude through the flesh in sharp peaks; a strong, rounded chin; and large, flaring ears.
		Sesostris III’s sculpture may have been in a temple dedicated to a god or the king himself.

		Another study conducted by Professor Klemm, a well-known egyptologist from Munich, has stressed that the traces found on the statue of Sesostris III have nothing to do with those found on genuine pieces dating back to the time of the pharaoh's reign and that they are modern.
		In the light of these studies, Mrs Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt has felt obliged to produce a four-page report in which she declared that it was rather normal to find traces of ferrous elements on the Sesostris statue since such materials were common during the Middle Empire period.
		The latter's counsel had then lashed out at Mr Pinault's lawyer who had criticised the pedigree of the Sesostris statue regarding the mention "succession H.E" in the sale catalogue, which strangely corresponded with the initials of Heinz Eckert, the German lawyer behind whom the owner of that piece was hiding.

	Moses In The Twelfth Dynasty Egyptian Literature: A Reconstruction : Family Trees
		Moses' mother's children's birth order is significant becasue Sidiptu was born after the king's (Amenemhet I) son, Sesostris I. Sidiptu's mother went back to her first hisband, which no doubt irritated both of these kings.
		The "son" is Moses, as adopted royal step-son of the king; the "brother" is Moses as half-brother of both Amenemhet I and Sesostris I; and a "man slaying his father" is Moses having slain his half-brother step-father, Amenemhet I. These familial relationships are clearly diagramed in the reconstructed family tree.
		Sesostris here is identified as Aaron who lost two sons to a "strange fire" at the Ark of the Covenant.
