Amenhotep I

Followed his father’s politics, consolidating and extending

He was the son of Ahmose I and queen Ahmes-Nefertari, and the second monarch of the 18th Dynasty. According to several sources, his approximately 21-year.
The reign’s historical events are hardly known. Globally, the new sovereign continued his father’s policies, maintaining and expanding the throne, most notably by completing the cleanup of the Delta after the invading Hyksos were evicted, and by dispatching expeditions to Nubia and possibly Asia.

like his father, devoted the most of his architectural efforts to the Theban region, although this does not exclude the discovery of remnants of his work elsewhere. One of his key political issues was the restoration of the wrecked structures, the resurrection of a clergy, the relaunch of the cults, and most likely the development of the “Daily” Divine Ritual, which would be necessary in the temples in the future.
In all of these endeavours, he is ably aided by his mother Ahmes-Nefertari, who was already powerful during the reign of her husband Ahmose I and sees her son’s rule as a continuation of that power.
