Amenemopet Egyptian prince of
the Eighteenth Dynasty
Amenemopet son of Amenhotep II. Amenemopet was a prince of ancient Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty possibly the son of Amenhotep II. Many of Egypt's most famous pharaohs hail from the Eighteenth Dynasty including the famous pharaoh Tutankhamen. Amenhotep II inherited the vast empire of his father Thutmose III and organized military campaigns in Syria. Amenhotep II did not publicly record the names of his queens. Some Egyptologists theorize that he felt women held too much power in positions such as those of Amun's wife. They point to his involvement in his father's erasure of Queen Hatshepsut's name from monuments and the destruction of her idols.

Amenemopet is known from Stela C found in the Sphinx Temple of Amenhotep II. He was identified as the son of this pharaoh based on the inscription which in its form dates back to the reign of Amenhotep II. It is possible that he is Prince Amenemopet who appears on the inscription of the royal courtesan Senetrui. There are also other sons of Amenhotep II Nedjem, an 18th Dynasty Egyptian prince and Khaemwaset who is mentioned in two graphic images on the island of Sehel located in the Nile River off the coast of Egypt. About two miles southwest of Aswan the name of the throne of Amenhotep II is also mentioned. Minmose the superintendent of priests and temple workers in all Upper and Lower Egypt for the Egyptian pharaoh was a superintendent of priests. He participated in the exploration of Syria during Thutmose's Eighth Campaign as well as Nubia.
The Taksi expedition was likely connected to Amenhotep II's campaigns. Nedjem was a prince of Ancient Egypt. He and his brother Webensenu are mentioned on the statue of Minmose the superintendent of workers at Karnak. Searching for Stela C found in the Sphinx Temple of Amenhotep II and on carvings or statues of superintendents and tombs dating back to the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt however the name of the tablet has been destroyed making it impossible to determine with certainty.
