Amenemhet Senebef , also Sonbef , was an ancient Egyptian king ( pharaoh ) of the 13th Dynasty ( Second Intermediate Period ).

supporting documents

This name is combined with the throne name Sechem-ka-Re on contemporary monuments . A Sechem-ka-Re appears as the 2nd ruler of the 13th dynasty in the Royal Papyrus Turin (6.6).

In addition to the usual seals (as Sechem-ka-Re Amenemhet Senebef ), the king is occupied on blocks from El-Tod (as Sechem-ka-Re ), a statue from the Heqaib sanctuary in Elephantine (as Sechem-ka-Re Amenemhet ) and from Nilstands inscriptions from Semna (as Sechem-ka-Re ). According to the Nilstands brands, which are dated a third year, he ruled for at least two years.

identity

But there are apparently two rulers at the beginning of the 13th dynasty with the throne name Sechem-ka-Re: Amenemhet and Amenemhet Senebef. Jürgen von Beckerath and Kim Ryholt see them as different people. The latter case (Amenemhet Senebef) is a double name, so Amenemhet and Amenemhet Senebef could just be a person whose name was sometimes written with and sometimes without a middle name. Ryholt interprets this double name as filliation: Senebef, son of Amenemhet and sees Senebef as the son of Amenemhet IV.

King Amenemhet appears as his successor in the Turin Royal Papyrus. Its identity is uncertain.

His civil service

A vizier of this ruler was probably a Chenmes , of whom a statue and an inscription from Aswan is known.
