Senwosret III is probably the best attested pharaoh from the Middle Kingdom and seen in many statues. They show a man with an arrogant look, broad cheek bones, dropping down corners of the mouth and a total impression of "world-weariness". It can also be interpreted as showing his seriousness regarding his high office. Historian Manetho describes him as a great warrior and also tells that he was a tall man reaching two metres above the ground. We know that he pushed the Egyptian border all the way down to the third cataract at Semna where he built the southernmost of many fortresses.
