Usermonth

Usermonth (maybe also Monthuser ) was an ancient Egyptian king ( pharaoh ) of the Second Intermediate Period .

Usermonth is known only from two stone fragments that were found in the temple of Mentuhotep II in Deir el-Bahari . His exact classification is uncertain, perhaps he is identical with a ruler of whom only the throne name is known so far. Jürgen von Beckerath places him in the 13th dynasty.
