Mentuhotep IV in Wikipedia
Nebtawyre Mentuhotep IV was the last king of the 11th Dynasty. He seems to fit into a 7 year period in
the Turin Canon for which there is no recorded king, and is known from a few inscriptions in Wadi
Hammamat that record expeditions to the Red Sea coast and to quarry stone for the royal monuments.
Despite being obscure (he is absent from the official king lists in Abydos), the inscriptions show the
organization and makeup of a large expedition. The leader of an expedition to Wadi Hammamat, during the
second year of Mentuhotep IV’s reign, was his vizier, Amenemhat, who is assumed to be the future king
Amenemhet I, the first king of the 12th Dynasty, and Mentuhotep's immediate successor. It is assumed by
some Egyptologists that Amenemhet either usurped the throne or assumed power after Mentuhotep IV died
childless. There is currently no archaeological or textual evidence to prove that Mentuhotep was deposed
by his Vizier or that he chose Amenemhet to be his designated successor. Mummy or the burial place have
not been found.
