~~'' ''~~'''Amenhotep II''' (1453-1419 BC) was a pharaoh of Egypt's so called New Kingdom, the son and sucessor of the famous warrior-king Tutmosis III.

Amenhotep II was notorious for being a great sportsman. He was very athletic (at 1.80 m tall, he was also quite tall for an ancient Egyptian), and had a great love for horses (he was given control of all royal stables even as a child). He was also an extraordinary archer, and it is said that he could shoot copper targets with his arrows while driving a chariot at full speed, with the reigns tied around his waist. This feat was so well known and admired that it is even found portrayed on some Egyptian artwork of that time.
