Amenhotep III

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Amenhotep III (1391–1353 BC)

King (pharaoh) of ancient Egypt. He built great monuments at Thebes, including the temples at Luxor. Two portrait statues at his mortuary temple were known to the Greeks as the colossi of Memnon; one was cracked, and when the temperature changed at dawn it gave out an eerie sound, then thought supernatural. His son Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaton.
