Sihathor
Menwadjre Sihathor was an ephemeral ruler of the late 13th Dynasty during the Middle Kingdom. Sihathor may never have enjoyed an independent reign, possibly only ruling for a few months as a coregent with his brother Neferhotep I. According to Egyptologist Kim Ryholt, Sihathor died in 1733 BC while Detlef Franke dates his short reign to 1694 BC. His tomb is likely to be the unfinished one located between the tombs of his brothers S9 and S10, in Abydos. __TOC__ Attestations According to the latest reading of the Turin canon by Ryholt, Sihathor is recorded there on column 7, line 26 (Gardiner col. 6, line 26).K.S.B.

Sobekhotep IV
Khaneferre Sobekhotep IV was one of the more powerful Egyptian kings of the 13th Dynasty (c. 1803 BC to c. 1649 BC), who reigned at least eight years. His brothers, Neferhotep I and Sihathor, were his predecessors on the throne, the latter having only ruled as coregent for a few months. Sobekhotep states on a stela found in the Amun temple at Karnak that he was born in Thebes. The king is believed to have reigned for around 10 years. He is known by a relatively high number of monuments, including stelae, statues, many seals and other minor objects. There are attestations for building works at Abydos and Karnak. Family Parentage and Siblings Sobekhotep was the son of the 'god's father' Haankhef and of the 'king's mother' Kemi. His paternal grandparents were ''soldier of the town's regiment'' Nehy and his wife Senebtysy. We know nothing about his maternal grandparents.

Thirteenth Dynasty Of Egypt
The Thirteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (notated Dynasty XIII) was a series of rulers from approximately 1803 BC until approximately 1649 BC, i.e. for 154 years. It is often classified as the final dynasty of the Middle Kingdom (which includes Dynasties XI, XII and XIV), but some historians instead group it in the Second Intermediate Period (with Dynasties XIV through XVII). Dynasty XIII initially ruled from the Nile Delta to the second cataract of the Nile. However, the dynasty marked a period of decline and instability, with Dynasty XIV rising concurrently and the Hyksos Dynasty XV taking control shortly after. Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep is usually considered Dynasty XIII's first pharaoh, and Merneferre Ay, while not the final pharaoh, was the last to occupy the Middle Kingdom capital of Itjtawy, and the last of the dynasty with a significant recorded reign. Chronology and rulers Ryholt (1997:190) argues that the 13th Dynasty lasted from 1803-1649 BC, lasting some ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
S 9 (Abydos)
S 9 (also Abydos-south S9) is the modern name given to a monumental ancient Egyptian tomb complex at Abydos, Egypt, Abydos in Egypt. The tomb is most likely royal and dates to the mid-Thirteenth dynasty of Egypt, 13th Dynasty, during the late Middle Kingdom of Egypt, Middle Kingdom. Finds from the area of the tomb indicate that S9 suffered extensive, state-sanctioned stone and grave robbing during the Second Intermediate Period, only a few decades after its construction, as well as during the later Egypt (Roman province), Roman and Coptic periods. Although no direct evidence was found to determine the tomb owner, strong indirect evidence suggest that the neighbouring and slightly smaller tomb S 10 (Abydos), S10 belongs to pharaoh Sobekhotep IV (fl. c. 1725 BC). Consequently, S9 has been tentatively attributed by the Egyptologist Josef W. Wegner to Sobekhotep IV's predecessor and brother, Neferhotep I (fl. c. 1735 BC). According to Wegner, the tomb might originally have been capped b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Haankhef
Haankhef was the father of the ancient Egyptian kings Neferhotep I, Sihathor, and Sobekhotep IV, who successively ruled Egypt during the second half of the 18th century BC as kings of the 13th Dynasty. Biography Haankhef is known from a number of monuments all of which are connected to his royal sons. On his monuments Haankhef bears the titles "''Royal Sealer''" and "''God's Father''". Both titles were given to him after his sons became kings and it is consequently unknown what position he held before these events. "God's father" is a title often given to the non-royal parents of a king and Haankhef's father Nehy is indeed known to have been a simple "''officer of the town regiment''" in Thebes. Similarly Haankhef's mother Senebtysy only held the common title of "''Lady of the House''". This indicates that Haankhef belonged to a rather middle level family of military officials. What role this background played in the accession of Neferhotep I to the throne is unknown. Haankhef is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Middle Kingdom Of Egypt
The Middle Kingdom of Egypt (also known as The Period of Reunification) is the period in the history of ancient Egypt following a period of political division known as the First Intermediate Period of Egypt, First Intermediate Period.

Wahneferhotep
Wahneferhotep was an ancient Egyptian ''king's son'' who lived in the Thirteenth Dynasty, around 1700 BC. Attestation Wahneferhotep is only known from a shabti and model coffin found in the mortuary temple of the pyramid of Senusret I at Lisht, and now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. On both objects he bears the title ''king's son''. His name means ''Neferhotep endures''. Theories Neferhotep might refer to king Neferhotep I, who was one of the most powerful rulers of the Thirteenth Dynasty; some scholars argue that this king is the most likely ruler that is mentioned in the name. However, the pottery found near the model coffins points to a later date, making it more likely that ''Neferhotep'' refers to another, later, king with the same name.Dieter Arnold: ''The Pyramid of Senwosret I, South Cemeteries of Lisht I'', New York 1988, , pp. 37-40 References [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
