Image description

The Murder of Amenemhat II. Amenemhat II, the third King of the XIIth Dynasty, was slain by his chamberlains. This murder, unlike so many in oriental history, was not followed by a change in the royal line. This fact suggests either that the murderers were caught before the plot could mature, or that they were not concerned with the throne but only with the man they slew. The motive may even have been one of personal revenge. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
