This Dynasty was founded by King Amenemhat the First, who was the last minister of the eleventh Dynasty, and this twelfth family has endured tremendous hardships in imposing its control and legitimacy on the children of the previous Dynasty.

Minister Amenemhat, who headed the mission to the Hammamet Valley, is the founder of this new family, the Twelfth Dynasty. There are even those who are supposed to have used the ten thousand soldiers who were with them to pounce on power.
As usual the founders of the new families, Amenemhat wanted to wear the wisdom of a religious garment.
Until people persuade that it is not usurped by the rule, but rather it was inspired by the gods and according to holy prophecy.
