otn. xviii. TEHUTI-MES I. 133
the brave warrior Aalimes the son of Abana took part
in the capacity of captain of the royal ships. His object,
which was to extend the boundaries of Egypt, was
fully attained, and besides this a rich booty in captive
negroes and cattle was brought home.
A second campaign was directed towards the North,
where the Libyan people of the Aamu-Kahak had shown
themselves hostile to the Egyptians. This people be-
longed to the great tribe of the ' light-coloured' Thuhen,
or, as the Greeks designated them, the MarmaridEe,
whose country was known in classic times under the
name of Marmarica. At that time they inhabited the
northern coast of Africa. In this mention of the Aamu-
Kahak are seen the first traces of that enmity which
under Meneptah II. assumed an aspect so threatening
for the Egyptians. For the rest, ' those from the land
of Thuhi' considered themselves as cousins to the
Egyptians.
Towards the East Amen-hotep I. remained inactive,
and, like his predecessor, contented himself with protect-
ing the frontiers. In the interior of the country the
inscriptions prove his erection of the great temple at
Thebes, and of sanctuaries for individual gods in the
western part of the great Theban plain. After his
death divine honours were accorded to him, as to his
predecessors.
He had by his consort Aah-hotep a son, who was his
successor on the throne, and as such bore the names—
Aa-KHEPER-KA-Ka TEHUTI-MES I. 1633 B.C. CIE.
His name, written by the Greeks Thotmosis, means
' Tehuti's child.' The victories and wars of this king,
who for the first time undertook a campaign in the East
as far as the banks of the Euphrates, form the principal
events of his history.
