Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt () was a cradle of civilization concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in Northeast Africa. It emerged from prehistoric Egypt around 3150BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology), when Upper and Lower Egypt were amalgamated by Menes, who is believed by the majority of List of Egyptologists, Egyptologists to have been the same person as Narmer. The history of ancient Egypt unfolded as a series of stable kingdoms interspersed by the "Periodization of ancient Egypt, Intermediate Periods" of relative instability. These stable kingdoms existed in one of three periods: the Old Kingdom of Egypt, Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age; the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age; or the New Kingdom of Egypt, New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age. The pinnacle of ancient Egyptian power was achieved during the New Kingdom, which extended its rule to much of Nubia and a considerable portion of the Levant. After this period, Egypt ...

Seneb (king's Son)

Seneb bears the title ''king's son'', although he was not the son of a king.

Seneb's own family is known from a stela now in Vienna (ÄS 135). His wife was called Nebtit and their children were: *''Elder of the hall'' Sobekhotep. *''Lady of the house'' Iuhetibu (named for her paternal grandmother) *''Trainer of the dogs'' Mentuhotep (named for her paternal grandfather) *Henut.Dodson, Aidan; Hilton, Dyan.

Sekhemrekhutawy Khabaw
Sekhemrekhutawy Khabaw was an Egyptian pharaoh of the early 13th Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period. Attestations Khabaw is well attested through archaeological finds.
