Complaints Of Khakheperraseneb
The "Complaints of Khakheperraseneb", also called the "Lamentations of Khakheperraseneb", is an ancient Egyptian text from the end of the First Intermediate Period or the beginning of the Middle Kingdom. It was on a writing board which suggests it was regarded as a text for school and is currently held in the British Museum. The dating is not established as fact, but is thought to be near that time period and the writing of Khakheperraseneb tells a story of suffering. The interpretation of the work is up to debate; scholars believe that this piece is either a literary composition or a work about the issues in Egypt surrounding Khakheperraseneb at the time.

Senusret II
Khakheperre Senusret II was the fourth pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from 1897 BC to 1878 BC. His pyramid was constructed at El-Lahun. Senusret II took a great deal of interest in the Faiyum oasis region and began work on an extensive irrigation system from Bahr Yussef through to Lake Moeris through the construction of a dike at El-Lahun and the addition of a network of drainage canals. The purpose of his project was to increase the amount of cultivable land in that area. The importance of this project is emphasized by Senusret II's decision to move the royal necropolis from Dahshur to El-Lahun where he built his pyramid. This location would remain the political capital for the 12th and 13th Dynasties of Egypt. The king also established the first known workers' quarter in the nearby town of Senusrethotep ( Kahun).
