Amenemhet IV Maakherure | |||
''The ?adopted son of [[Amenemhet III]], (the 6th Pharaoh of the 12th dynasty). He co-reigned with Amenemhet III for 9 years over Upper and Lower Egypt, Elephantine and Lower Nubia and then suddenly disappeared. His ancestry is not recorded in Egyptian records. (Many believe him to be the [[Moses]] of the Bible who went into exile in Midian at 40yrs and returned to Egypt at the end of the 13th dynasty at age of 80yrs to confront [[Neferhotep]] {1446BC} and lead the Israelites out of Egypt.) [[Sobekneferu]], the daughter of [[Amenemhet III]] may have been the Princess that found him in a basket in the Nile and, being childless, raised him as her own. [[Amenemhet III]] had no sons to inherit the throne so when he died [[Sobekneferu]], in the Absence of Amenemhet IV, became the next Pharaoh. When she died, after reigning only 4 years, the 12th dynasty ended and Egypt was subsequently over run by the [[Hyksos]] {1406BC}. The [[Egyptian chronology|revised dates]] of his reign: 1498-1486 (approximately).'' | |||
