Iaret was a Great Royal Wife from the middle of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt .
Amenhotep II ( sometimes called Amenophis II and meaning 'Amun is Satisfied ' ) was the seventh Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt . Amenhotep inherited a vast kingdom from his father Thutmose III , and held it by means of a few military campaigns in Syria ; however , he fought much less than his father , and his reign saw the effective cessation of hostilities between Egypt and Mitanni , the major kingdoms vying for power in Syria . His reign is usually dated from 1427 to 1401 BC .
Thutmose IV ( sometimes read as Thutmosis or Tuthmosis IV , Thothmes in older history works in Latinized Greek ; Ancient Egyptian : /ḏḥwty.ms/ Djehutymes , meaning Thoth is born ) was the 8th Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt , who ruled in approximately the 14th century BC . His prenomen or royal name , Menkheperure , means Established in forms is Re .
The ancient Egyptian noble Ibi ( sometime transliterated as Aba or Abe ) was chief steward of the God 's Wife of Amun , Nitocris I , during the reign of the 26th Dynasty pharaoh Psamtik I . He was buried in a large tomb , TT36 , located in the El-Assasif district of the Theban Necropolis , opposite Luxor , in Egypt . His sarcophagus lid is exhibited in the Museo Egizio of Turin , Italy .
Nitocris I ( alt . Nitiqret , Nitokris I ) ( died 585 BC ) served as the heir to , and then , as the Divine Adoratrice of Amun or God 's Wife of Amun for a period of more than seventy years , between 655 BC and 585 BC .
Wahibre Psamtik I ( Ancient Egyptian : wꜣḥ-jb-rꜥ psmṯk , known by the Greeks as Psammeticus or Psammetichus ( Latinization of Ancient Greek : Ψαμμήτιχος , romanized : Psammḗtikhos ) , who ruled 664-610 BC , was the first of three kings of that name of the Saite , or Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Egypt .
Wahibre Ibiau ( throne name : Wahibre ; birth name : Ibiau , also Ibiaw ) was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the 13th Dynasty , who reigned c. 1670 BC for 10 years 8 months and 29 days according to the Turin King List .
Ibiaw or Ibiau was an ancient Egyptian vizier and Chief of the town ( i.e . mayor ) during the 13th Dynasty , likely under pharaohs Wahibre Ibiaw and/or Merneferre Ay .
Merneferre Ay ( also spelled Aya or Eje ) was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the mid 13th Dynasty . The longest reigning pharaoh of the 13th Dynasty , he ruled a likely fragmented Egypt for over 23 years in the early to mid 17th century BC . A pyramidion bearing his name shows that he possibly completed a pyramid , probably located in the necropolis of Memphis . Merneferre Ay is the last pharaoh of the 13th dynasty to be attested outside Upper Egypt . In spite of his long reign , the number of artefacts attributable to him is comparatively small . This may point to problems in Egypt at the time and indeed , by the end of his reign , the administration [ of the Egyptian state ] seems to have completely collapsed . It is possible that the capital of Egypt since the early Middle Kingdom , Itjtawy was abandoned during or shortly after Ay 's reign . For this reason , some scholars consider Merneferre Ay to be the last pharaoh of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt .
Imhotep ( /ɪmˈhoʊtɛp/ ; Egyptian : ỉỉ-m-ḥtp *jā-im-ḥātap , in Unicode hieroglyphs : 𓇍𓅓𓊵 : 𓏏*𓊪 , the one who comes in peace ; fl . late 27th century BC ) was an Egyptian chancellor to the pharaoh Djoser , probable architect of the Djoser 's step pyramid , and high priest of the sun god Ra at Heliopolis . Very little is known of Imhotep as a historical figure , but in the 3000 years following his death , he was gradually glorified and deified . Traditions from long after Imhotep 's death treated him as a great author of wisdom texts and especially as a physician . No text from his lifetime mentions these capacities and no text mentions his name in the first 1200 years following his death . Apart from the three short contemporary inscriptions that establish him as chancellor to the pharaoh , the first text to reference Imhotep dates to the time of Amenhotep III ( c. 1391-1353 BC ) . It is addressed to the owner of a tomb , and reads :
Djoser ( also read as Djeser and Zoser ) was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the 3rd dynasty during the Old Kingdom and the founder of this epoch . He is also known by his Hellenized names Tosorthros ( from Manetho ) and Sesorthos ( from Eusebius ) . He was the son of king Khasekhemwy and queen Nimaathap , but whether he also was the direct throne successor is still unclear . Most Ramesside Kinglists name a king Nebka before him , but since there are still difficulties in connecting that name with contemporary Horus names , some Egyptologists question the received throne sequence .
The High Priest of Ra or of Re was known in Egyptian as the wr-mꜢw , which translates as Greatest of Seers . The main cult of Ra was in ancient Heliopolis , northeast of present-day Cairo . The high priests of Ra are not as well documented as the high priests of other deities such as Amun and Ptah .
Smenkhkare Imyremeshaw was an Egyptian pharaoh of the mid 13th dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period . Imyremeshaw reigned from Memphis , starting in 1759 BC or 1711 BC . The length of his reign is not known for certain ; he may have reigned for 5 years and certainly less than 10 years . Imyremeshaw is attested by two colossal statues now in the Egyptian Museum , Cairo .
Inaros ( II ) , also known as Inarus , ( fl . ca . 460 BCE ) was an Egyptian rebel ruler who was the son of a Libyan prince named Psamtik , presumably of the old Saite line , and grandson of Psamtik III . In 460 BC , he revolted against the Persians with the help of his Athenian allies under Admiral Charitimides , and defeated the Persian army commanded by satrap Achaemenes in 460 BCE . The Persians retreated to Memphis , but the Athenians were finally defeated in 454 BC by the Persian army led by Megabyzus , satrap of Syria , and Artabazus , satrap of Phrygia , after a two-year siege . Inaros was captured and carried away to Susa where he was reportedly crucified in 454 BC .
Megabyzus ( Ancient Greek : Μεγάβυζος , a folk-etymological alteration of Old Persian Bagabuxša , meaning God saved ) was an Achaemenid Persian general , son of Zopyrus , satrap of Babylonia , and grandson of Megabyzus I , one of the seven conspirators who had put Darius I on the throne . His father was killed when the satrapy rebelled in 482 BCE , and Megabyzus led the forces that recaptured the city , after which the statue of the god Marduk was destroyed to prevent future revolts . Megabyzus subsequently took part in the Second Persian invasion of Greece ( 480-479 BCE ) . Herodotus claims that he refused to act on orders to pillage Delphi , but it is doubtful such orders were ever given .
Inenek , also called Inti , was an ancient Egyptian queen consort , a wife of Pharaoh Pepi I of the 6th dynasty .
Pepi I Meryre ( reigned 2332-2287 BC ) was the third king of the Sixth dynasty of Egypt . His first throne name was Neferdjahor which the king later altered to Meryre meaning beloved of Rê .
Ineni ( or Ini , Inni ) was an Ancient Egyptian queen who lived during the Thirteenth Dynasty ( around 1700 BC ) . She is so far only known from 21 scarabs and a seal impression from Kerma . She had the titles Great Royal Wife and she , who is united with the white crown . She is one of the first ancient Egyptian queens whose name was written within a cartouche . This approach to writing a name was previously only used for kings ' names and some kings ' daughters holding special positions . The name of Ineni 's husband is not known with any certainty . It is thought that it was king Merneferre Ay , as her scarabs are similar in style to that of this king .
Ineni ( sometimes transliterated as Anena ) was an Ancient Egyptian architect and government official of the 18th Dynasty , responsible for major construction projects under the pharaohs Amenhotep I , Thutmose I , Thutmose II and the joint reigns of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III . He had many titles , including Superintendent of the Granaries , Superintendent of the Royal Buildings , Superintendent of the Workmen in the Karnak Treasuries , etc . Ineni came from an aristocratic family and likely began his career as an architect under Amenhotep I. Amenhotep I commissioned Ineni to expand the Temple of Karnak . The expansion included a barque shrine of Amun and a new treasury . Ineni probably also oversaw the construction of Amenhotep I 's tomb and mortuary temple . The mortuary temple was the first to be disconnected from the actual tomb , presumably so it would not draw attention to the burial site . Amenhotep I died before the treasury could be completed , but Ineni was retained by his successor , Thutmose I . An avid builder , Thutmose I commissioned many construction projects during his rule , including the first tomb carved out at the Valley of the Kings . Many of his projects were at the Temple of Karnak and were under the supervision of Ineni . These works included the fourth and fifth pylons , numerous courts and statues , the completion of the Treasury expansion begun by Amenhotep I , and a hypostyle hall of cedar wood constructed at Karnak to commemorate Thutmose I 's victory over the Hyksos . After the death of Thutmose I , Ineni was once again retained by the royal family . During the reign of Hatshepsut , a new architect , Senemut , would gain major commissions ; most notably the construction of her mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri .
Amenhotep I ( /ˌæmɛnˈhoʊtɛp/ ) ( Ancient Egyptian : jmn-ḥtp ( w ) /jama : nuḥa : tpaw/ Amun is satisfied ; Amarna cuneiform a-ma-an-ha-at-pe or -at-pa ) or Amenophis I , ( /əˈmɛnoʊfɪs/ , ) , from Ancient Greek Ἀμένωφις , additionally King Zeserkere ( transliteration : Ḏsr-k3-R ` ) , was the second Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt . His reign is generally dated from 1526 to 1506 BC . He was a son of Ahmose I and Ahmose-Nefertari , but had at least two elder brothers , Ahmose-ankh and Ahmose Sapair , and was not expected to inherit the throne . However , sometime in the eight years between Ahmose I 's 17th regnal year and his death , his heir apparent died and Amenhotep became crown prince . He then acceded to the throne and ruled for about 21 years . Although his reign is poorly documented , it is possible to piece together a basic history from available evidence . He inherited the kingdom formed by his father 's military conquests and maintained dominance over Nubia and the Nile Delta but probably did not attempt to maintain Egyptian power in the Levant . He continued the rebuilding of temples in Upper Egypt and revolutionized mortuary complex design by separating his tomb from his mortuary temple , setting a trend in royal funerary monuments which would persist throughout the New Kingdom . After his death , he was deified as a patron god of Deir el-Medina .
Thutmose I ( sometimes read as Thutmosis or Tuthmosis I , Thothmes in older history works in Latinized Greek ; Ancient Egyptian : /ḏḥwty.ms/ Djehutymes , meaning Thoth is born ) was the third pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Egypt . He received the throne after the death of the previous king , Amenhotep I . During his reign , he campaigned deep into the Levant and Nubia , pushing the borders of Egypt farther than ever before . He also built many temples in Egypt , and a tomb for himself in the Valley of the Kings ; he is the first king confirmed to have done this ( though Amenhotep I may have preceded him ) . Thutmose I 's reign is generally dated to 1506-1493 BC , but a minority of scholars - who think that astrological observations used to calculate the timeline of ancient Egyptian records , and thus the reign of Thutmose I , were taken from the city of Memphis rather than from Thebes - would date his reign to 1526-1513 BC . He was succeeded by his son Thutmose II , who in turn was succeeded by Thutmose II 's sister , Hatshepsut .
Thutmose II ( sometimes read as Thutmosis or Tuthmosis II , Thothmes in older history works in Latinized Greek ; Ancient Egyptian : /ḏḥwty.ms/ Djehutymes , meaning Thoth is born ) was the fourth Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt . His reign is generally dated from 1493 to 1479 BC . His body was found in the Deir el-Bahri Cache above the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and can be viewed today in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo .
Hatshepsut ( /hætˈʃɛpsʊt/ ; also Hatchepsut ; Egyptian : ḥꜣt-šps.wt Foremost of Noble Ladies ; 1507-1458 BC ) was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt . She was the second historically-confirmed female pharaoh , the first being Sobekneferu . ( Various other women may have also ruled as pharaohs regnant or at least regents before Hatshepsut , as early as Neithhotep around 1600 years prior . ) Hatshepsut came to the throne of Egypt in 1478 BC . Her rise to power was noteworthy as it required her to utilize her bloodline , education , and an understanding of religion . Her bloodline was impeccable as she was the daughter , sister , and wife of a king . Her understanding of religion allowed her to establish herself as the Gods Wife of Amun . Officially , she ruled jointly with Thutmose III , who had ascended to the throne the previous year as a child of about two years old . Hatshepsut was the chief wife of Thutmose II , Thutmose IIIs father . She is generally regarded by Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs , reigning longer than any other woman of an indigenous Egyptian dynasty . According to Egyptologist James Henry Breasted , she is also known as the first great woman in history of whom we are informed . Hatshepsut was the daughter and only child of Thutmose I and his primary wife , Ahmose .
Thutmose III ( variously also spelt Tuthmosis or Thothmes ) was the sixth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty . Officially , Thutmose III ruled Egypt for almost 54 years and his reign is usually dated from 24 April 1479 BC to 11 March 1425 BC , from the age of two and until his death at age fifty-six ; however , during the first 22 years of his reign , he was coregent with his stepmother and aunt , Hatshepsut , who was named the pharaoh . While he was shown first on surviving monuments , both were assigned the usual royal names and insignia and neither is given any obvious seniority over the other . Thutmose served as the head of Hatshepsut 's armies . [ dubious - discuss ] During the final two years of his reign , he appointed his son and successor , Amenhotep II , as his junior co-regent . His firstborn son and heir to the throne , Amenemhat , predeceased Thutmose III . Becoming the sole ruling pharaoh of the kingdom after the deaths of Thutmose II and Hatshepsut , he created the largest empire Egypt had ever seen ; no fewer than 17 campaigns were conducted and he conquered lands from the Niya Kingdom in northern Syria to the Fourth Cataract of the Nile in Nubia . When Thutmose III died , he was buried in the Valley of the Kings , as were the rest of the kings from this period in Egypt .
The Karnak Temple Complex , commonly known as Karnak ( /ˈkɑːr.næk/ , from Arabic Khurnak meaning fortified village ) , comprises a vast mix of decayed temples , chapels , pylons , and other buildings near Luxor , in Egypt . Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom ( around 2000-1700 BC ) and continued into the Ptolemaic period ( 305 - 30 BC ) , although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom . The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ( The Most Selected of Places ) and the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head . It is part of the monumental city of Thebes . The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby , and partly surrounded , modern village of El-Karnak , 2.5 kilometres ( 1.6 miles ) north of Luxor .
Inetkaes was an ancient Egyptian princess of the Third dynasty , who reigned during the Old Kingdom . Inetkaes was the only known child of Pharaoh Djoser and Queen Hetephernebti , and she was a granddaughter of Khasekhemwy and Nimaethap . She is mentioned on the boundary stelae surrounding Djoser 's step pyramid ( these are now to be found in various museums ) and is depicted on a relief found in Heliopolis ( now in Torino ) . This shows the enthroned pharaoh accompanied by smaller figures of Inetkaes and Hetephernebti .
Hetephernebti was a queen of the third dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt . She was the only known wife of Pharaoh Djoser . Hetephernebti and a Kings Daughter Inetkaes were named on stelae found around Djosers Sakkara pyramid complex and on a Heliopolis relief showing Djoser accompanied by the two of them . Among her titles were one who sees Horus ( m33.t-ḥrw- ) and great of sceptre ( wr.t-ht=s ) , both common for important queens in this period , also , she was called King 's Daughter , which means she was possibly a daughter of Djoser 's predecessor Khasekhemwy and Nimaethap , thus a sister or half-sister of her husband .
Menkheperre Ini ( or Iny Si-Ese Meryamun ) was an Egyptian king reigning at Thebes during the 8th century BC following the last king of the 23rd dynasty , Rudamun .
Rudamun was the final pharaoh of the Twenty-third dynasty of Ancient Egypt . His titulary simply reads as Usermaatre Setepenamun , Rudamun Meryamun , and excludes the Si-Ese or Netjer-Heqawaset epithets employed by his father and brother .
Nefermaat I was an Ancient Egyptian prince , a son of king Sneferu . He was a vizier possessing the titles of the king 's eldest son , royal seal bearer , and prophet of Bastet . His name means Maat is beautiful or With perfect justice .
Intef , whose name is commonly accompanied by epithets such as the Elder , the Great ( = Intef-aa ) or born of Iku , was a Theban nomarch during the First Intermediate Period c. 2150 BC and later considered a founding figure of the 11th Dynasty , which eventually reunified Egypt .
Sehertawy Intef I was a local nomarch at Thebes during the early First Intermediate Period and the first member of the 11th Dynasty to lay claim to a Horus name . Intef reigned from 4 to 16 years c. 2120 BC or c. 2070 BC during which time he probably waged war with his northern neighbor , the Coptite nomarch Tjauti . Intef was buried in a saff tomb at El-Tarif , known today as Saff el-Dawaba .
Thebes ( Ancient Greek : Θῆβαι , Thēbai ) , known to the ancient Egyptians as Waset , was an ancient Egyptian city located along the Nile about 800 kilometers ( 500 mi ) south of the Mediterranean . Its ruins lie within the modern Egyptian city of Luxor . Thebes was the main city of the fourth Upper Egyptian nome ( Sceptre nome ) and was the capital of Egypt for long periods during the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom eras . It was close to Nubia and the Eastern Desert , with its valuable mineral resources and trade routes . It was a cult center and the most venerated city of ancient Egypt during its heyday . The site of Thebes includes areas on both the eastern bank of the Nile , where the temples of Karnak and Luxor stand and where the city proper was situated ; and the western bank , where a necropolis of large private and royal cemeteries and funerary complexes can be found .
Nekhen ( /ˈnɛkən/ ) or Hierakonpolis ( /ˌhaɪərəˈkɒnpəlɪs/ ; Ancient Greek : Ἱεράκων πόλις Hierakōn polis Hawk City , Egyptian Arabic : الكوم الأحمر , romanized : el-Kōm el-Aḥmar , lit . 'the Red Mound ' ) was the religious and political capital of Upper Egypt at the end of prehistoric Egypt ( c. 3200-3100 BC ) and probably also during the Early Dynastic Period ( c. 3100-2686 BC ) . Some authors suggest occupation dates that should begin thousands of years earlier . The oldest known tomb with painted decoration on its plaster walls is located in Nekhen and is thought to date to ca . 3500-3200 BC . It shares distinctive imagery with artifacts from the Gerzeh culture .
Wahankh Intef II ( also Inyotef II and Antef II ) was the third ruler of the Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt during the First Intermediate Period . He reigned for almost fifty years from 2112 BC to 2063 BC . His capital was located at Thebes . In his time , Egypt was split between several local dynasties . He was buried in a saff tomb at El-Tarif .
Ankhtifi ( or Ankhtify ) was a nomarch of Hierakonpolis and a supporter of the pharaoh in Herakleopolis Magna ( 10th Dynasty ) , which was locked in a conflict with the Theban based 11th Dynasty kingdom for control of Egypt . Hence , Ankhtifi was possibly a rival to the Theban rulers Mentuhotep I and Intef I . He lived during the First Intermediate Period , after the Egyptian Old Kingdom state had collapsed , and at a time when economic hardship , political instability , and foreign invasion challenged the fabric of Egyptian society .
Intef III was the third pharaoh of the Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt during the late First Intermediate Period in the 21st century BC , at a time when Egypt was divided in two kingdoms . The son of his predecessor Intef II and father of his successor Mentuhotep II , Intef III reigned for 8 years over Upper Egypt and extended his domain North against the 10th Dynasty state , perhaps as far north as the 17th nome . He undertook some building activity on Elephantine . Intef III is buried in a large saff tomb at El-Tarif known as Saff el-Barqa .
Sehetepkare Intef ( also known as Intef IV or Intef V ) was the twenty-third king of the 13th dynasty during the Second intermediate period . Sehetepkare Intef reigned from Memphis for a short period , certainly less than 10 years , between 1759 BC and 1749 BC or c. 1710 BC .
Sekhemre-Wepmaat Intef ( or Antef , Inyotef ) was an Egyptian king of the Seventeenth Dynasty of Egypt , who lived late during the Second Intermediate Period , when Egypt was divided into two by Hyksos controlled Lower Egypt and Theban ruled Upper Egypt . Sekhemre-Wepmaat Intef is sometimes referred to as Intef V , and sometimes as Intef VI . His nomen , Intef-aa , translates as His father brought him , the great or Intef , the great . He ruled from Thebes , and was probably buried in a tomb in the necropolis . His rishi coffin , Louvre E 3019 , was discovered in the 19th century and found to preserve an inscription which reveals that this king 's brother Nubkheperre Intef buried - and thus succeeded - him .
The Second Intermediate Period marks a period when Ancient Egypt fell into disarray for a second time , between the end of the Middle Kingdom and the start of the New Kingdom . The concept of a Second Intermediate Period was coined in 1942 by German Egyptologist Hanns Stock . It is best known as the period when the Hyksos people of West Asia made their appearance in Egypt and whose reign comprised the 15th dynasty founded by Salitis .
Nubkheperre Intef ( or Antef , Inyotef ) was an Egyptian king of the Seventeenth dynasty of Egypt at Thebes during the Second Intermediate Period , when Egypt was divided by rival dynasties including the Hyksos in Lower Egypt . He is known to be the brother of Sekhemre-Wepmaat Intef - and this king 's immediate successor - since he donated Louvre Coffin E3019 for this king 's burial which bears an inscription that it was donated for king Sekhemre Wepmaat Intef as that which his brother , king Antef ( Nubkheperre Intef here ) gives , notes Kim Ryholt . As the German scholar Thomas Schneider writes in the 2006 book Ancient Egyptian Chronology ( Handbook of Oriental Studies ) :
The Hyksos ( /ˈhɪksɒs/ ; Egyptian ḥqꜣ ( w ) -ḫꜣswt , Egyptological pronunciation : heqa khasut , ruler ( s ) of foreign lands ; Ancient Greek : Ὑκσώς , Ὑξώς ) were a people of diverse origins , possibly from Western Asia , who settled in the eastern Nile Delta some time before 1650 BC . The arrival of the Hyksos led to the end of the Thirteenth Dynasty and initiated the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt . In the context of Ancient Egypt , the term Asiatic refers to people native to areas east of Egypt . Immigration by Canaanite populations preceded the Hyksos . Canaanites first appeared in Egypt at the end of the 12th Dynasty c. 1800 BC or c. 1720 BC and established an independent realm in the eastern Nile Delta . The Canaanite rulers of the Delta regrouped and founded the Fourteenth Dynasty , which coexisted with the Egyptian Thirteenth Dynasty and was based in Itjtawy . [ citation needed ] The power of the 13th and 14th Dynasties progressively waned , perhaps due to famine and plague . In about 1650 BC , the Hyksos invaded the territory of both dynasties and established the Fifteenth Dynasty . The collapse of the Thirteenth Dynasty caused a power vacuum in the south , which may have led to the rise of the Sixteenth Dynasty , based in Thebes , and possibly of a local Abydos Dynasty . The Hyksos eventually conquered both , albeit for only a short time in the case of Thebes . From then on , the 17th Dynasty took control of Thebes and reigned for some time in peaceful coexistence with the Hyksos kings , perhaps as their vassals . Eventually , Seqenenre Tao , Kamose and Ahmose waged war against the Hyksos and expelled Khamudi , their last king , from Egypt c. 1550 BC .
Sekhemre Wadjkhaw Sobekemsaf I was a pharaoh of Egypt during the 17th Dynasty . He is attested by a series of inscriptions mentioning a mining expedition to the rock quarries at Wadi Hammamat in the Eastern Desert during his reign . One of the inscriptions is explicitly dated to his Year 7 . He also extensively restored and decorated the Temple of Monthu at Medamud where a fine relief of this king making an offering before the gods has survived . Sobekemsaf I 's son - similarly named Sobekemsaf after his father - is attested in Cairo Statue CG 386 from Abydos which depicts this young prince prominently standing between his father 's legs in a way suggesting that he was his father 's chosen successor . Sobekemsaf 's chief wife was Queen Nubemhat ; she and their daughter ( Sobekemheb ) are known from a stela of Sobekemheb 's husband , a Prince Ameni , who might have been a son of Sekhemre-Heruhirmaat Intef or possibly Senakhtenre Ahmose . The burial equipment of Sobekemsaf W [ adjkhaw ] does not contain his prenomen , but can nevertheless be assigned with certainty to this king since the tomb of Sobekemsaf Shedtawy was thoroughly robbed in antiquity by tomb robbers as recorded in Papyrus Abbott III 1-7 . On this basis , Kim Ryholt assigns a large heart-scarab , which was , and indeed still is , set in a large gold mount containing the name of 'Sobekemsaf ' to Sekhemre Wadjkhau Sobekemsaf I here since the tomb robbers would not overlook such a large object on the mummy of the king if it came from Sobekemsaf II 's tomb . For much the same reason , a wooden canopic chest also bearing the name 'Sobekemsaf ' on it has also been attributed to this king by Ryholt and Aidan Dodson . In contrast to the extensive damage that might have been expected had the chest been in the burned and looted tomb of Sobekemsaf II , the damage suffered by Cat . 26 ( i.e. , Sobekemsaf I 's chest ) is minor , consistent with what it might have suffered at the hands of Qurnawi dealers .
