Something wrong?Second pharaoh of Egypt's 18th Dynasty, he wasn't supposed to rule - his elder brother was heir until death intervened. After his own death around 1506 BC, he became something rarer: a deified king worshipped as patron god of the workers' village at Deir el-Medina.

Amenhotep I was the son of Ahmose I and Ahmose-Nefertari, but his elder brother Ahmose-ankh stood ahead of him in line. Somewhere in the eight years before their father's death, the heir apparent died and Amenhotep became crown prince by chance. He ruled for about 21 years from roughly 1526 to 1506 BC, holding the kingdom his father had won through military conquest. He kept dominance over Nubia and the Nile Delta but likely let Egyptian power in the Levant lapse. His reign is poorly documented, but the evidence shows he continued rebuilding temples in Upper Egypt and made one decisive break with tradition: he separated his tomb from his mortuary temple, a design shift that would define royal burials throughout the New Kingdom.
