The Egyptians love|d him much, because he prayed and the beasts died which used to come up from the river Nile a|nd devour men. These beasts were called 'crocodiles.' When Alexander the son of Philip, the M|acedonian, came (to Egypt), he made enquiries about his grave, and took and brought him to Al|exandria. This (prophet) during his life said to the Egyptians, 'a child shall be born--tha|t is the Messiah--of a virgin, and He shall be laid in a crib2, and He will shake and cast do|wn the idols.' From that time, and until Christ was born, the Egyptians used to set a virgi|n and a baby in a crib, and to worship him, because of what Jeremiah said to them, that He sh|ould be born in a crib.||2 See Migne, Patrologiae Cursus, Ser.

The second, whose story I am now writing, who had the surname of the Mindful|, was the grandson of the former, by his daughter Parysatis, who brought Darius four sons, th|e eldest Artaxerxes, the next Cyrus, and two younger than these, Ostanes and Oxathres. Cyru|s took his name of the ancient Cyrus, as he, they say, had his from the sun, which, in the Pe|rsian language, is called Cyrus. Artaxerxes was at first called Arsicas; Dinon says Oarses; b|ut it is utterly improbable that Ctesias (however otherwise he may have filled his books wit|h a perfect farrago of incredible and senseless fables) should be ignorant of the name of th|e king with whom he lived as his physician, attending upon himself, his wife, his mother, an|d his children.||Cyrus, from his earliest youth, showed something of a headstrong and vehement character; Arta|xerxes, on the other side, was gentler in everything, and of a nature more yielding and sof|t in its action. He married a beautiful and virtuous wife, at the desire of his parents, bu|t kept her as expressly against their wishes.|...[MUCH MORE]|(http://www.4literature.net/Plutarch/Artaxerxes/) deat: 0424 BC plac: Persia (Iran) Ruled 0464 - 0424 BC marr: marr: Concubine marr: marr: | ||||||

It is no boast that comes from my mouth." In fact, he not only stabilized Egypt's southern border at Semna, his troops regularly penetr ated the area beyond and we know of a record recording the height of the inundation as far so uth as Dal, many miles beyond Semna. This stele continues with an admonishes later kings, "Now as for every son of mine who shall maintain this boundary, which My Majesty has made, h e is my son, he is born of My Majesty, the likeness of a son who is the champion of his fathe r, who maintains the boundary of him that begat him. Now, as for him who shall relax it, an d shall not fight for it; he is not my son, he is not born to me." Certainly his son, Amenemhet III heeded this warning, and interestingly, Senusret III was lat er deified in Nubia as a god. However, we also know that, in what we believe to be his final campaign in Nubia in year 19 o f his reign, his efforts were less successful. Apparently, due to a drop in the Nile's wate r level, his forces had to make a retreat to avoid being trapped. Most of Senusret III's military attention was directed towards Nubia, but he is also noted fo r a campaign in Syria against the Mentjiu, where rather then a goal of expansion, he seems t o have been after retribution and plunder. We owe this information to a a stele belonging t o an individual named Sobkkhu, who apparently also participated in the Nubian campaigns. Th e king apparently led this campaign himself, capturing the town of Sekmem, which may have bee n Shechem in the Mount Ephrain region. It was probably during Senusret III's reign that we also find the "Execration Texts". Thes e were inscriptions found in Nubia and Egypt, usually inscribed either on magical figurines o r on pottery. The inscriptions were usually a list of enemies of Egypt. These objects were of ten ritualistically smashed, and the shards placed under the foundations of new building, thu s "smothered", or nailed at the edge of the area they were meant to protect. The plunder from the Nubian and Syrian campaigns was mostly directed towards the temples in E gypt, and their renewal. For example, at Abydos, an inscription by a local official named Ikh ernofret states that the king commissioned him to refurbish Osiris's barge, shrine and chapel s with gold, electrum, lapis lazuli, malachite and other costly stones. He also adorned the t emple of Mentuhotep II at Deir el-Bahari (West Bank at Luxor) with a series of six life siz e granite standing statues of himself wearing the nemes headdress. They once lined the lowe r terrace. Religiously, we are told in a graffiti that, even though his capital, burial ground and othe r interests were in Northern Egypt, he also helped maintain a large number of priests associa ted with the cult of Amun in Upper (southern) Egypt at Thebes. He also had built a large temp le to the old Theban war god, Montu, just north of Karnak at Nag-el-Medamoud. While this temp le was refurbished in the New Kingdom and again in the Greek and Roman period, nothing remain s of it save two finely carved granite gateways that were discovered in 1920, along with som e very splendid statues and a few inscriptions. Domestically, Senusret III was able to carry on his military campaigns and building project s because he had matters at home largely under control. He divided the country into three ad ministrative divisions (waret), including a North, South and the Head of the South (Elephanti ne and Lower Nubia), that were each administered by a council (djadjat) of senior staff who i n turn reported to a vizier. This sufficiently weakened the power of local nomarchs (governor s) and other high officials who had once again begun to challenge the central government an d the monarch. Decentralization due to powerful local officials and nobles had, in the past , created chaos and ultimately led to the dark times of the First Intermediate Period. It wou ld seem that most all of the Middle Kingdom rulers were aware of this threat, and were consta ntly on guard. This new administrative scheme apparently also had another effect, in that it promoted the ri se of the middle class, many of whom were incorporated into the administration, and were no l onger under the influence and control of the local nobles. Sunusret III had his pyramid built at Dahshur, a mostly Middle Kingdom necropolis. It was th e largest of the 12th Dynasty pyramids, but like the others with mudbrick cores, after the ca sing was removed it deteriorated badly. In the excavation season of 1894-1895, Jacques de Mor gan also found the tombs of Queen Mereret and princess Sit-Hathor near the northern enclosur e wall of Senusret III's pyramid complex. Also found with these tombs were some fine jewelry , missed by earlier robbers. However, some Egyptologists doubt that Senusret III was buried in this pyramid. He also had a n elaborate tomb and complex built in South Abydos. This huge complex stretches over a kilome ter between the edge of the Nile floodplain and the foot of the high desert cliffs that for m the western boundary of the valley. This complex consists of an underground tomb which, a t least at one time, was considered to be the largest in Egypt (that may have been eclipsed b y the discovery of the Tomb of Ramesses II's Sons in the Valley of the Kings). Other componen ts include a mortuary temple at the edge of the cultivated fields and a town south of the tom b that supported the complex. The name of this funerary complex was "Enduring are the Place s of Khakaure Justified in Abydos". Senusret III is further attested by blocks from a doorway found near Qantir and by his rock i nscriptions near the island of Sehel south of Aswan that record the reopening of the bypass c anal.
