History

One of the most important artifacts found from Amenemope's reign is a famous book of wisdom, "Instruction of Amenemope" that he offered to his son. In the book, he gives advice to his son on integrity, honesty, self-control, and kindness and how to attain these goals in life -- by resting all trust in the gods.

His tomb in Tanis revealed gold and silver equipment, although his mummy was moved into the tomb of Psusennes I.
