Queen Sobekneferu
Queen Sobekneferu 12714
Subicneferu “The Beauty of Subic”. She was the last king of the Twelfth Dynasty, and she ruled Egypt for nearly four years from 1806 to 1802 BC. She assumed power after the death of her brother, Amenemhat IV, who had no heir.
Few traces of her have been found, although many headless statues have been preserved. It is known that she added some accessories to the tomb of King Amenemhat III in Hawara (Herodotus called that tomb the Palace of the Wanderings), and she also built structures in the ancient city of Ehnasia.

A cylindrical seal was found in good condition bearing her name and royal title, and it is now in the British Museum. There is a drawing of the Nile in the Nubian fort in the Kuma region that records the Nile rising to 1.83 meters in the third year of her rule. Another description discovered in the Eastern Desert records: “The fourth year, the second month of the winter season.” The remaining traces about her always link her to Amenemhat III and not IV, which supports the theory that she is the daughter of Amenemhat III and may have been only a half-sister of Amenemhat IV.
