supporting documents

The throne name of Djehuti can be found on the King's List of Karnak . A canopic box with his name, but dedicated to Queen Mentuhotep , was found in Dra Abu el-Naga around 1822 and is now in the Museum Berlin . The queen's coffin was also still known in 1832, but has since been lost and only the copies of the inscriptions remain. Some blocks with the proper, throne, gold and Horus names of the Djehuti come from the area around the Temple of Horus in Edfu . At Deir el-Ballas there was a block with his throne and proper name.

classification

Jürgen von Beckerath places this king at the beginning of the 17th dynasty, as following Hans Stock he identified him with Sechemre ... in the royal papyrus Turin . This name can be found on a fragment that was assigned to the beginning of the 17th dynasty. Claude Vandersleyen and Christina Geisen , on the other hand, assign him to the late 13th dynasty , while Kim SB Ryholt sees him as the second king of the 16th dynasty . He also identifies him with King Sechemre ... , from the Royal Papyrus Turin, although he sees rulers of the 16th dynasty in this column, with Ryholt referring to the 16th dynasty as Theban. Lately there have been attempts to place him in the 13th dynasty, these attempts being based on the stylistic classification of his wife's coffin. This attempt is also based on unproven assumptions. The exact classification of the ruler therefore remains uncertain.
