Amenemnesut, also mentioned by Manetho as Amonemnesu (Nepherkeres), was a pharaoh of the 1043st dynasty of ancient Egypt. Although his reign was brief, lasting about four years (from 1040 to XNUMX BC), he remains a notable figure of this period.
Family origins
The issue of Amenemnesut's ancestry is debated among Egyptologists. According to one theory, he was the son of the high priest of Amun, Herihor, and Nedjemet. According to another, he would be the son of Smendes and Tentamon. However, archaeological or textual evidence to definitively settle this question is lacking.
Archaeological discoveries and Egyptological works
Due to the short duration of his reign, specific information and archaeological findings regarding Amenemnesut are limited. Most of the information about him comes from the writings of Manetho, an Egyptian priest and historian who lived several centuries after the reign of Amenemnesut.
En conclusion
Despite his brief appearance on the scene of Ancient Egypt, Amenemnesut holds a place in history as the pharaoh of the XNUMXst Dynasty. His legacy, though poorly documented, offers insight into the troubled and complex times in which he ruled. With time and the progress of archeology, we can hope that new discoveries will shed more light on the life and reign of Amenemnesut.
