supporting documents

Mentuhotepi carried the throne name Seanch-en-Re and is known only from a few objects so far. It is a pair of sphinxes from Edfu and a stele from Karnak . A scarab is uncertain about the assignment. His throne name may also appear in the Turin royal papyrus and in the royal list of Karnak .

On the stele is also a prince Mont users called. Since at this time the title of king's son was also used by people who were not of royal descent, it remains uncertain whether it is a biological son of the ruler.
