 Psalms 18:1
“(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said,) I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.”

“The teeming autumn, big with increase,
Bearing the wanton burden of the prime.” ~~~
Shakespeare
 
 
The white chapel, Senusret I, who is offering a ritual conical loaf (shewbread?) to the god, Amun-Min.
The White Chapel stands out not only for its architectural beauty but also for its historical and cultural significance, offering a glimpse into the religious and political landscape of ancient Egypt.
Senusret I’s reign is often seen as a golden age of the Middle Kingdom, characterized by strong leadership, military prowess, and cultural achievements.


 
 

 



Senusret I Middle Egyptian: (Sesostris I) was the second pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from 1971 BC to 1926 BC (1920 BC to 1875 BC), and was one of the most powerful kings of this Dynasty. He was the son of Amenemhat I. Senusret I was known by his prenomen, Kheperkare, which means "the Ka of Re is created." He expanded the territory of Egypt allowing him to rule over an age of prosperity.
He continued his father's aggressive expansionist policies against Nubia by initiating two expeditions into this region in his 10th and 18th years and established Egypt's formal southern border near the second cataract where he placed a garrison and a victory stele. He also organized an expedition to a Western Desert oasis. Senusret I established diplomatic relations with some rulers of towns in Syria and Canaan. He also tried to centralize the country's political structure by supporting nomarchs who were loyal to him. His pyramid was constructed at el-Lisht. Senusret I is mentioned in the Story of Sinuhe where he is reported to have rushed back to the royal palace in Memphis from a military campaign in Libya after hearing about the assassination of his father, Amenemhat I.
