Usermaatre Amenemope was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the 21st Dynasty who ruled between 1001–992 BC or 993–984 BC.
Amenemope's burial is notable for being one of three entirely intact royal burials known from ancient Egypt. The others were that of Psusennes I and Sheshonq II, all three found inside Psusennes's tomb; however, only the metal objects survived.[6]
