Hur Mo hb belongs to the family of princes from the upper regions of Egypt, where he worshiped Horus. He returned to Tiba after the reign of Akhenaton in Tel Amarna, and remained in the service of Tutankhamun and I. He was forced to present to the priests of Amon proof after proof of his bias towards the true believers, but he remained at the political level always looking, with some suspicion, at the aspirations of the priests of Karnak and their ambitious plans. And witness to this, his new name: (Hoor Im Hob), which links the city god that descended from them, and not a good God. He married one of the daughters of the royal family. It seems that there are conspiracies and intrigues that the priests of Karnak have been debating from the era of Akhenaten, who died in his youth and ruled only nineteen years, and the death of his successor, Semenakh Kara, who also ruled for years.
The historical documents, and the assertions of the Egyptian scholars, refer to the period of the "Hour of Im Hob", which lasted for twenty-five years, in which he held the administrative and military apparatus. Military kings began to rule Egypt. As Claire Lalweet points out in her book In fact, he realized that in the circumstances of that time he realized that only a warrior leader could preserve the rest of the Egyptian empire, and since his marriage did not bear the birth of a child, he personally chose his successor, , In this position the minister and the military commander of Rameses, and in 1314 BC, Ramesi The first on the throne, becoming the first of a long series of pharaohs warriors brave Almrhube side).
In the period of "Hooram Hob" or as pronounced by the two professors (Dr. Bahour Labib and Dr. Sufi Hassan Abu Talib), the most important legal laws that published justice between the segments of Egyptian society and poor classes.
Like the civilization of Mesopotamia, the temple was the center where people meet, and therefore any means of communicating with people was taken from the temple as a place to promote and confirm communication. In the ancient Egyptian civilization, we find important examples. In his book "Legislation of Hor Hoveb" - the Egyptian General Book Authority - Cairo, 1972 - Horemheb is one of the most important legislators in ancient Egyptian history. Horemheb, who was commander of the army during Akhenaten's reign and under his successor, claims to be a political, military and religious movement. He seized power in the country, exploiting the army's displeasure with Akhenaten's foreign policy and his successors. Amun from Akhenaton's judgment against their religion, while exploiting the people's discontent with the chaos that struck their country. The injustice that spread throughout the state, and the transformation of the religion of the old Horemheb, who was a member of the people and filled with all the wishes of his country and their tendencies, and had touched and knew all aspects of imbalances and corruption in the state, and then took Hormhbe appearance of the popular leader, Who came to save the country from injustice and chaos, and actually after winning the satisfaction of the priests of Amun and the support of the people and the loyalty of the army, he managed to sit on the throne and become Pharaoh of Egypt, although it has nothing to do with the lineage of the kings of the 18th Dynasty. It was no way for him to correct this situation and to legitimize his throne only to marry the Prince House of the owner of the princesses, and actually married the princess's death brought to confer legitimacy to take over the throne of Egypt recipe).
As for his legal legislation, he was discovered in 1882 by the French archaeological world (Maspero), and its importance to us, in our conversation about the means of mass communication in ancient Egypt, is that this legislation has been engraved on a stone tablet five meters long and three meters wide , And in 39 lines on the facade of the stone tablet and ten other lines on both sides of the right and left sides, next to the gate of a lover in the Karnak temple in Luxor.
The archaeological mark (Laco) found another version of this legislation in another non-temple (Karnak), which indicates that the Pharaoh Horemheb published it to the people in different places dedicated to it, which, as go many specialists, a phenomenon known in the publication of laws In the ancient civilizations, as Dr. Bahur Labib and Dr. Sufi Hassan Abutaleb confirm in their above-mentioned book that "Hoor Moheb was inspired by the spread of the law at the gate of the temple and even in more than one temple.
