Throne name Nebmare. Son of
Thutmose IV of
Dynasty 18 and Mutemwia. He may have won as a child and reigned 32 years. His reign,is famous for its magnificence in expression and arts. He saved the Egyptian empire in Asia and was in communication with the many princes of the area, as rendered in the Amarna letters. His great queen worse, Tiy, was the mother of his eventual heir,
Akhenaten, as it looks that his eldest son, Thutmose, predeceased him. King Amenhotep III married individual foreign princesses from Mitanni and Babylon. He also had some daughters, notably Sitamun, whom he married. A proposed coregency between father and son is suspect, and most Egyptologists scorn the feeling. He was buried in tomb KV 22 in the Valley of the Kings, and his body was cured from the royal cache in tomb KV35 of
Amenhotep II. His morgue temple at Kom el-Hetan on the west bank distinct Thebes is mostly in ruins but featured the Colossi of Memnon and dedications observing the Keftyu. It has been under excavation by a German expedition since 1998.
