amenemhat i

`` see amenemhat , for other individuals with this name . ''
amenemhat i , also amenemhet i and the hellenized form ammenemes , was the first ruler of the twelfth dynasty , the dynasty considered to be the golden-age of the middle kingdom of egypt .
he ruled from 1991 bc to 1962 bc .
amenemhat i was probably same as the vizier named amenemhat who led an expedition to wadi hammamat under his predecessor mentuhotep iv , and possibly overthrew him from power .
scholars differ as to whether mentuhotep iv was killed by amenemhat i , but there is no independent evidence to suggest this and there may even have been a period of co-regency between their reigns .
amenemhet i was not of royal lineage , and the composition of some literary works -lrb- the `` prophecy of neferti '' , the `` instructions of amenemhat '' -rrb- and , in architecture , the reversion to the pyramid-style complexes of the 6th dynasty rulers are often considered to have been attempts at legitimizing his rule .
amenemhat i moved the capital from thebes to itjtawy and was buried in el-lisht .
