Ammu Aahotepre

'Ammu Aahotepre was a pharaoh of the 14th Dynasty who ruled over parts of Lower Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period.

Attestations

This king is poorly attested, see Ryholt 1997:364-365 File 14:4. Like other kings of the dynasty, scarab seals are the only surviving evidence for his reign.

'Ammu Aahotepre has 61 seals bearing his name: 30 for the nomen 'Ammu and 32 for the prenomen Aahotepre. The theory that 'Ammu and Aahotepre refer to the same ruler is not certain.
At Tell el-Ajjul, a scarab bearing the nomen of this king was discovered by Flinders Petrie in 1933.

Scarab seals from 1x Lachish, 2x Tell el-Ajjul, 1x Canaan, 1x Delta, 27x Provenance Unknown.

Scarab seals from 2x Tell el-Ajjul, 1x Abydos, 1x Semna, 26x Provenance Unknown.

His reign is believed to have lasted about 15 years, from 1760 BC until 1745 BC.

Ryholt identified king 'Ammu with Aahotepre in his reconstruction of the Turin canon. Von Beckerath had previously assigned the prenomen Aahotepre to a pharaoh of the Sixteenth dynasty of Egypt.
