'''Amenemhet III''' was a [[pharaoh]] of [[Egypt]] who served as a junior co-regent under Amenemhet III for ~9 years. His ancestry to his precedessor is enigmatic, and there are no records of [[Amenemhet III]] having any sons. Amenemhet IV mysteriously disappeared before the death of Amenemhet III, resulting in [[Sobekneferu]] (one of Amenemhet III's daughters) ascending to the throne and becoming Egypt's first female ruler. | |||

Some believe that Amenemhet IV should be identified as the Moses of the Biblical Exodus.<ref name=Ashton92>Ashton, John F., and Down, David. ''[[Unwrapping the Pharaohs: How Egyptian Archaeology Confirms the Biblical Timeline]]'' p.92, Green Forest, AR: Master Books, 2006.</ref> Sobekneferu is often listed as Amenemhet IVs sister and also his wife, and it may have been her who found Moses in the Nile River. It is known that she had no children, which may explain Amenemhet III was willing to accept his as heir to the throne. But when Moses came of age and identified himself with the people of Israel and was forced to flee from Egypt leaving way for Sobekneferu to take the thrown. When she died the dynasty died and was succeeded by the 13th dynasty.<ref>[http://creation.com/searching-for-moses Searching for Moses] by David Down. Journal of Creation 15(1):53–57.
