Amenemhab

The hieroglyphic
name of Amenemhab

Amenemhab was a military general of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Amenemhab did Tuthmosis III (1479-1425 B.C.E.) and Amenhotep II (1425-1401 B.C.E.) and had a long and essential military career. His wife attended as a nurse for the royal family, and she plausibly presented him to Tuthmosis III. His tomb on the western shore of the Nile at Thebes allows elaborate autobiographical letterings that hold close accounts of Tuthmosis III's driving campaigns. Amenemhab followed this warrior  pharaoh  across  many  lands  as  Egypt  forged  an empire. On one occasion, when Tuthmosis III recklessly come out elephant hunting, Amenemhab cut off the torso of  a  maddened  bull  elephant  that  charged  the  pharaoh. He received the third Gold of Valor award for this feat.

On another battlefield, Amenemhab saw the foe passing a young mare into the places of the oncoming Egyptian cavalry. Such a mare was fashioned to bring about a mating frenzy among the Egyptian entires. Amenemhab slit open the belly of the maria, thus contracting the animals tempt. He dismembered it at the same time, practicing the malodour of blood and gore to further enrage the  Egyptian  steeds  in  their  charge.  Ever  at  the  side  of Tuthmosis  III,  Amenemhab  outlived  that  pharaoh  and attended  his  son  and  successor, Amenhotep  II,  a  man  who fascinated in military life and in hand-to-hand fight in the field.
