I'm not sure about Senwosret's dates. London's University College website gives different dates for him, 1872-1853 BCE rather than 1836–1818 BCE.
The Oxford History book gives more info: "Senusret is perhaps the most 'visible' monarch of the Middle Kingdom: his exploits gathered renown over time and substantially contributed to the character of 'Sesostris' (a kind of composite heroic Middle Kingdom ruler) described by Manetho and Herodotus."_The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt_, edited by Ian Shaw, pages 165-166) |
