Neferhotep III

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sekhemre Sankhtawy Neferhotep III[1] was the third or fourth ruler of the Theban 16th Dynasty after Djehuti and Sobekhotep VIII. He is assigned a reign of 1 year in the Turin Canon and is known primarily by a single document from Thebes.[2] In this stela, Neferhotep III repeatedly calls Thebes "my city" and praises himself as "The guide of victorious Thebes."[3] After his short reign, he was succeeded by king Mentuhotep VI.
