Biography of an Ancient Egyptian Champion

The Great Inscription of Amen-Em-Heb details the rise of an Egyptian soldier to commander of the Pharaoh's army, chronicling the battles in which he fought and the enemies he defeated and took prisoner.

Amen-Em-Heb served as a soldier in the Egyptian army under Pharaoh Thutmose III (1479 BC to 1425 BC) and under his son Amenhotep II.

Most notably, Amen-Em-Heb fought a bull elephant in hand-to-hand combat and emerged victorious, hacking off the the beast's foot while it was still alive. His skills as a soldier brought him to the Pharaoh's attention, who rewarded him with wealth and promotion.
