Among the monuments of his reign may be mentioned: A fine red granite stele on which are sculptured figures of Khnemu and Sati, gods of the First Cataract, and his Horus name, from Philae (Bay 5, No. =136=); head of a colossal granite statue of Usertsen I, wearing the Crown of the South (Bay 1, No. =137=); and a fragment of a chalcedony vase inscribed with the king’s prenomen 𓍹𓐼𓇳𓆣𓂓𓐽𓍺 (No. 67, Wall-case 138, Fourth Egyptian Room). Of his officials there are the painted stele of =Ȧthi=, who died in the 14th year of the king’s reign (Bay 3, No. =138=); the stele of =Neferu=, the overseer of the royal water-transport at Behen, or Wâdî Ḥalfah (Bay 3, No. =139=), and two stelae and a statue of =Ȧntef=, the son of Sebek-unnu and the lady Sent. Ȧntef was a confidential servant of the king and superintended the royal private apartments in the palace; he died four years before his master, _i.e._, in the 39th year of the reign of Usertsen I. (See Bay 1, No. =140=; Bay 3, Nos. =141= and =142=.) [Illustration: PLATE XXIV. Sepulchral tablet and seated portrait figure of Sa-Hathor, a mining inspector in the Sûdân, in the reign of Ȧmenemḥāt II, B.C. 2400. [Southern Egyptian Gallery, Bay 1, No. 143.]] [Sidenote: B.C. 2400.] The reign of =Ȧmenemḥāt II= was prosperous, but uneventful; and no military expeditions of importance were necessary either in the Peninsula of Sinai or in Nubia. There was a large colony of Egyptians at Sarâbît al-Khâdim, and a temple was built there in this reign to Hathor, the goddess “of the land of the turquoise.” The search for gold was carried on actively in the Sûdân, under the direction of =Sa-Hathor=, who tells us on his stele (Bay 1, No. =143=; see =Plate XXIV=) that he worked in the mining districts when he was a young man, and that he made the chiefs wash out the gold; he brought back turquoises and went to the =Land of the Blacks=, or Sûdân, and collected the products of the country for his master. His knowledge of stone working induced the king to send him to superintend the hewing of the ten royal statues which he placed before his pyramid tomb. An interesting event of this period was the despatch of an =expedition to Punt= under the direction of Khent-khat-ur, who returned safely with his men in the 28th year of the king’s reign. In the third year of Ȧmenemḥāt II died the Erpā =Sa-Menthu=, a royal scribe and overseer of works. He was born in the reign of Ȧmenemḥāt I, and was appointed scribe, etc., by Usertsen I. His sepulchral stele is a fine example of its class (Bay 6, No. =145=). Another interesting stele of this reign is that of =Khenti-em-semti=, a royal official, and confidential servant and treasurer to the king; he visited Elephantine and Abydos (Bay 1, No. =146=). The official =Khenti-em-semt-ur= was a libationer priest who ministered in the chapel attached to the royal pyramid called “Kherp” 𓌂𓉴𓊖𓐰𓏏𓐱𓏤 (Bay 1, No. =147=). The =door socket= (Bay 5, No.
