Neferkare Iymeru
Neferkare Iymeru was the ancient Egyptian vizier under King Sobekhotep IV (around 1750 BC).
Neferkare Iymeru was the son of the "head of the Broad Hall" Iymeru. His mother was named Zatamun. Neferkare Iymeru is known from a large number of monuments and thus one of the best attested viziers of the 13th Dynasty . Two of his statues name King Sobekhotep IV, with which Neferkare Iymeru can be well dated. A statue from Karnak , which is now in the Louvre , tells of the building of a million year old house , a temple for the royal cult. It is one of the earliest evidence for this institution. Neferkare Iymeru also reports on this statue that a canal was built for the ruler. The vizier is also attested by an inscription in the Wadi Hammamat , which names him together with the "upper asset manager" Nebanch .
