The reign of Amenemhat II has been often characterized as largely peaceful,[1] but records of his genut, or daybooks, have cast doubt on that assessment.[29] Among these records, preserved on temple walls at Tod and Memphis, are descriptions of peace treaties with certain Syrio-Palestinian cities, and military conflict with others.[29] To the south, Amenemhet sent a campaign through lower Nubia to inspect Wawat.[27] It does not appear that Amenemhet continued his predecessors' policy of appointing nomarchs, but let it become hereditary again.[3] Another expedition to Punt dates to his reign.[29] In his 33rd regnal year, he appointed his son Senusret II coregent.[30]
