senusret iii

khakhaure senusret iii -lrb- also written as senwosret iii or erroneously sesostris iii -rrb- was a pharaoh of egypt .
he ruled from 1878 bc to 1839 bc during a time of great power and prosperity , and was the fifth monarch of the twelfth dynasty of the middle kingdom .
among his achievements was the building of the canal of the pharaohs .
he was a great pharaoh of the twelfth dynasty and is considered to be perhaps the most powerful egyptian ruler of the dynasty .
consequently , he is regarded as one of the sources for the legend about sesostris .
his military campaigns gave rise to an era of peace and economic prosperity that reduced the power of regional rulers and led to a revival in craftwork , trade and urban development .
senusret iii was one of the few kings who were deified and honored with a cult during their own lifetime .
