Horemheb

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
Horemheb (hō`rĕmhĕb') or Harmhab (härm`hăb), d. c.1303 B.C., king of ancient Egypt (c.1342 B.C.–c.1303 B.C.), founder of the XIX dynasty. A powerful noble under Ikhnaton, he seems to have been an army commander under the successors of that ruler, most notably under Tutankhamen. As king, Horemheb repaired the temples of Amon, abandoned or demolished buildings erected under Ikhnaton, and by untiring effort suppressed corruption in the government and restored prosperity to Egypt. He was succeeded by Ramses I.

It is hypothesized that Tutankhamon was killed either because of his threat to Ay and Horemheb ?
He ruled for nine years, achieving little of any import during his reign but leaving the world a fabulous legacy of golden treasures, including a collection of ornate funereal artefacts, never seen before outside Cairo, which are on display in Paris Horemheb (1323-1293BC) is nicknamed 'the usurper' as from mentoring the young Tutankhamen, he unscrupulously managed to take over his throne.
Or was it Horemheb, commander of the army and the king's charioteer, who didn't believe the young, inexperienced Pharaoh could save Egypt from it's enemies?
