The early Theban Intefs (Mentuhotep I 'the ancestor'; Intef I, II, III)

2125 BCE–2055 BCE · First-Intermediate

A grouped entry for the early Theban rulers of Dynasty 11 during the First Intermediate Period: a nominal ancestor, 'Mentuhotep I', and the kings Intef I, Intef II (a long reign that pushed Theban power northward), and Intef III. Each is attested. Together they built the southern principality that Mentuhotep II would forge into a reunited Egypt.
