supporting documents

In 2000 Daniel Polz from the German Archaeological Institute discovered the grave of Nub-cheper-Re Anjotef in Dra Abu el-Naga, which had been lost since around 1860 . The Abbott Papyrus ("Grave Robber Papyrus ") gave information about the location . The grave was formerly built over with a small pyramid with a base length of 11 m and a calculated height of approx. 13 m.

Auguste Mariette already found two broken obelisks with complete royal statutes, which were lost on the transport to Cairo. Since the beginning of the 19th century, parts of his grave furnishings have been in various museums, including his coffin and a diadem. On the sarcophagus is only the name "Antef" without the addition "Nub-cheper-Re". However, the assignment of this sarcophagus to "Nub-cheper-Re Anjotef" was based on complex considerations by Georg Steindorff .

Polz discovered over 250 ceramic vessels and a badly damaged stone head of the king in the filled grave shaft . The find is also of great importance for the chronology of the 17th dynasty: Nub-cheper-Re Anjotef dated by Beckerath as Anjotef V to the beginning of the 17th dynasty, Polz moves him, because of the style of the ceramic, close to the Kings Senachtenre and Seqenenre . He becomes Nub-cheper-Re Anjotef (VII.)

Baker arranges Nub-cheper-Re Anjotef after his older brother, the 3rd king of the 17th dynasty Intef V, in the line of kings as 4th king: Intef VI. The door post of a temple of the 17th dynasty in Thebes documents the father-son relationship between Sobekemsaf I, the 2nd king of the 17th dynasty, and Intef VI. and also the same relationship with the older brother Intef V. ( jn jt.f ˁ3 , "Intef the Elder"). It is believed that the older brother ruled before the younger.

Nub-cheper-Re Anjotef is quite well attested by monuments in Upper Egypt ( Abydos , Koptos ). The remains of a chapel , which can be largely reconstructed, and a longer royal decree come from Koptos . As a newly found inscription shows, his father was a king named Sobekemsaf. His wife was a woman with the same name: Sobekemsaf , who was buried in Edfu . Her grave seems to have been found undisturbed at the end of the 19th century . The objects ended up in the art trade.

The treasurer Teti and the head of the Sieglers Iahnefer are known by name of his court .
