'''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. | '''Amenemhet III''' was a [[pharaoh]] of [[Egypt]] who served as a junior co-regent under Amenemhet III for ~9 years.
