Author Description

A considerable amount of study has been devoted to Amenophis III. The length of his reign, the complexity of his personality, the number of artistic monuments associated with him, and the political diffusion in the Levant during the fourteenth century BC have given rise to unresolved problems regarding his reign. Goedicke discusses four of these in this monograph: The Nbty - and Gold-Horus name of Amenophis III; Amenophis II and Nubia, the Nubian crowns and the move to Thebes and its consequences on the building activity there.
