and was installed as king by the Assyrian overlord. He was king only for about 7 years.
009) For a full page color image of the head of Amenhotep I, the coffin of his wife Merytamen, her AN-B burial chamber and the tomb KV39 see KMT, Winter 2003, p. 65.; For an image of the restored dyad statue of Amenhotep I and Ahmose-Nefertari see Ancient Egypt, Aug/Sep 2005, p. 17.
010) For tomb information on Amenhotep II and Seti II see KMT, Summer 2000, p. 30.; For the B&W image of a statue of Amenophis II/Amenhotep II with inscriptions added by the kings of the 19th Dynasty see W.V. Davies, `Reading the Past', p. 18, BM#61. According the Amenhotep II's own records, rulers of Syria were in full revolt close to the beginning of his reign, "... some of the Asiatics who were in the city of Ikathi had plotted to make a plan for casting out the infantry of his majesty who were in the ciyu, in order to overturn ... his majesty ... pacified this city..." [Breasted, Records, Vol. II, Sec. 787. See also Sec. 791, 797, 804.] But it was the Syrian king Shaush-shatar on the strength of his friendly ties with Egypt, who invaded Assyria. Olmstead estimated that the king of Assyria at that time was most likely Ashur-bel-nisheshu or his brother Ashur-rim-nisheshu or the latters alter egos of Tab-rimmon, Eriba-Adad, etc, conventionally misdated, revised dates for Tab-rimmon, 9th century BC. [Olmstead, History of Assyria, p. 38.]
020) The good quality BW image of a statue of Men-kheper-Ra-senb, a Chancellor and priest of the Second Order in the reign of Thutmose III can be seen in E.A.W. Budge, `By Nile and Tigris', Vol. II, 1920, p. 369 (BM#708).
030) For the inscribed, readable image of a limestone stela of the supposed 19th Dynasty person `Wennekhu' and his son `Penpakhenty', the names in each case followed by a name determinative, see W.V. Davies, `Reading the Past', p. 16, BM#1248.

050) The `Seattle Art Museum' in Seattle, Washington, USA, has a finely crafted 32.1 cm tall damaged head of the god `Amen' (#51.69), said to date to the time of Horemheb because of similarities of the facial features to sculptures of that king found in the Luxor Cachette in 1989. KMT, Fall 2001, Vol. 12, p. 28.
060) The 18th dynasty painted limestone statue of the scribe `Huemascia' and his wife in duplicate seated next to him to his right and his left can be seen in KMT, Vol. 15, Summer 2004, p. 38.

090) A possible Amarna period villa of Amenhotep III (on the basis of stamped bricks) at Kom El-Abd, located almost 1 km south of Medinet Habu. Finds included Mycenaean and 18th dynasty blue painted sherds. It is the location of the `Bucheum', a flat, cleared, 4.1 km long, straight desert stretch some thought of as a chariot race course which was doubted by others. [Barry J. Kemp, A building of Amenophis III at Kom el Abd in Egyptian Archaeology, 1977, p. 71-82.]
100) A vizier `Khay' of Ramses II
is cited by Percy E. Newberry, `Extracts from Notebooks' in PSBA, No. CCIII, Mar 1905, p. 101.; On a limestone slab from Khay's tomb, he is shown to burn incense to the `kha' of Amenhetep I, the patron god of the Theban necropolis. It would be nice to ascertain this information from more recent accounts. 
110) A well preserved, smaller than life-size, late 18th dyn. pair-statue discovered at Sakkara in 2001 by a Dutch team represents the high-priest of Aten, Merire and his wife, Inyuia, as they are displayed at the Cairo Egyptian Museum. See KMT, Vol. 14, No. 1, Spring 2003, p. 23.
