	The Ancient Egypt Site - Titulary of Sesostris III
		Sesostris III was the son and successor of Sesostris II.
		According to Manetho, Sesostris III ruled for 48 years, but it is likely that this high number combines the length of his reign with that of his predecessor(s).
		Sesostris III built his funerary monument, a mudbrick pyramid encased in limestone of about 60 meters high, in Dashur, not far from the pyramid of his grandfather, Amenemhat II.

	Adam When?
		A tablet has been discovered from the reign of Sesostris III that indicates that in the seventh year of his reign there was a Sothis festival on the sixteenth day of the eighth month.
		Also, it could be that Sesostris III began to reign, upon the early death of his father, as a comparatively young man and would have welcomed the possibility of help from the young Hebrew who was close to his age and who had already shown great wisdom.
		Amenemhet III died in 1802 B.C. The long period of Joseph's life together with the long reigns of the pharaohs under whom he was prime minister would have contributed to a very stable government.

		Senusret III fought the Libyans and invaded Syria.
		The pillars which Sesostris king of Egypt set up in the various countries are for the most part no longer to be seen extant; but in Syria Palestine I myself saw them existing with the inscription upon them which I have mentioned and the emblem.
		But the reason why the king cut up the land was this, namely because those of the Egyptians who had their cities not on the river but in the middle of the country, being in want of water when the river went down from them, found their drink brackish because they had it from wells.

	The Star Sothis and Egyptian Chronology
		With Borchardt's having assigned the Illahun Papyrus to the reign of Sesostris III of the Twelfth Dynasty, Meyer accordingly was able to settle upon 1876-1872 BC as being the Sothically-precise time for the 7th year of that same pharaoh.
		On further palaeographical considerations, Borchardt decided upon Sesostris III (14); for he considered that the handwriting of the Illahun Papyrus was identical ('von gleicher Hand') to that of certain fragmentary pieces of papyrii that are assumed to refer to the death of Sesostris II, predecessor of Sesostris III (15).
		Sesostris III] on palaeographical grounds" (16), Neugebauer, for one, had been highly critical of the fact that scholars had been drawing conclusions - especially about the identity of the pharaoh - from an incomplete text (17).

	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 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.
		Amenemhet III appears to have shared the throne with is father as co-regent for at least a while before the death of his father.

		Sesostris III is often credited with finally having succeeded in breaking the power of the local governors of the provinces.
		Although there is no direct evidence to support this claim, it is clear that a more centralised government, led by the king and his administration, can only have limited the power of the provincial rulers.

		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.

		As the first attempt to verify the method on an object of known age, pieces of wood from the Old Kingdom (Zoser and Sneferu), from the Middle Kingdom (Sesostris III) and from the Ptolemaic ages were analyzed.
		The pieces of Sesostris (three tests’average) showed the age of 3621 with an error margin both ways of 180 years, or 1720 before the common era, with the chance that Sesostris III’s reign (or properly the time the tree was cut) can be brought as low as -1540.

		One very important papyrus here says that there was a heliacal rising of Sirius on such and such a date in year 7 of Sesostris III, and efforts have been made throughout the twentieth century to determine astronomically when Sirius would have risen heliacally on that date.
		One of these is to propose that the reign of Sesostris III did not last 30 some years as the Turin Papyrus suggests, but only 19 years.
		Rose: The -394 date is that one document from year 7 of Sesostris III that mentioned the heliacal rising on that date.

		The Sesostris statue was bought by Mrs Pinault after she reportedly received a favourable opinion from Mrs Elisabeth Delange, an egyptologist and curator of the Louvre Museum who was also said to have asserted that such a piece was worthy of being exhibited permanently in the museum.
		In addition, a statue of the pharaoh carved in the same type of stone and presenting the same errors as the one detected in the statue of Sesostris bought by the Pinault couple now in the musuem of Atlanta (from the Hakedis collection) was also described as a forgery.
		During the hearing before the court of appeal, Mr Pinault relied on a new counsel after asking the legal advisors of his PPR group to take care of the case in order to base their arguments on Mr Watrin's study.

		For the 50-odd years of the reigns of Sesostris II and III we therefore have two Viziers, Sebekemhat and Khnumhotep, both of whom should be dated to the reign of the later Sesostris.
		Perhaps, if Joseph was Vizier and Chief Steward in the last years of Sesostris II and the early years of Sesostris III, it is conceivable that after Joseph's retirement, Khnumhotep could have also have been granted both of these high court positions.

		From Amenhotep III onwards the curved horn is associated with Nubia; it reappears after about 600 years as the headdress in the costume of the Kushite rulers.
