'Ammu Aahotepre was a pharaoh of the 14th Dynasty who ruled over parts of Lower Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period. [5] [2]
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. [6] 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. [7]
Scarab seals from 1x Lachish, [8] 2x Tell el-Ajjul, [9] 1x Canaan (?), [10] 1x Delta (?), [11] 27x Provenance Unknown. [12]
Scarab seals from 2x Tell el-Ajjul, [13] 1x Abydos, [14] 1x Semna, [15] 26x Provenance Unknown. [16]
His reign is believed to have lasted about 15 years, from 1760 BC until 1745 BC. [6]
Ryholt (1997) identified king 'Ammu with Aahotepre in his reconstruction of the Turin canon. [2] Von Beckerath (1964) had previously assigned the prenomen Aahotepre to a pharaoh of the Sixteenth dynasty of Egypt. [17]
