Sedjefakare Kay Amenemhat VII was an Egyptian pharaoh of the early 13th Dynasty in the late Middle Kingdom.
Archaeologically, he is known from several objects, including six cylinder seals, [2] and two scarab seals. [3] His name appears as graffito in the tomb of queen Khuit I at Saqqara.
At Medamud (Upper Egypt), a bark-stand which originally had an inscription of Sedjefakare to which an inscription was added by Wegaf. [4] In the Turin King List Wegaf (7:05) heads this sequence of kings while Sedjefakare (7:17) comes later in the list, causing a debate about the chronology of these kings.
At Semna (Nubia), a Nile Level Record is dated to Year 1. [5] Other kings with Nile Level records at the fortresses of Semna and Kumma includes Amenemhat III, Amenemhat IV, Sobekneferu, Sekhemkare Amenemhat V and Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep Amenemhat.
Six cylinder seals are known. [6]
At Harageh (Faiyum region), a cylinder seal with the inscription: Sedjefakare, beloved by Sobek lord of Sumenu. [7]

The Turin King List 7:18 contains the entry: "The Dual King Sedjefa..kara, x years ...". [14] In the list he is predeceded by 7:17 Awtibra Hor and succeeded by 7:19 Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep Amenemhat.
The Tomb of Sedjefakare has not been located.
Ryholt assigns him without further evidence a reign of 3 years. [15] He suggests a dating around 1769-1766 BC.
Sobekneferu or Neferusobek was the first confirmed queen regnant of ancient Egypt and the last pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom. She ascended to the throne following the death of Amenemhat IV, possibly her brother or husband, though their relationship is unproven. Instead, she asserted legitimacy through her father Amenemhat III. Her reign lasted 3 years, 10 months, and 24 days, according to the Turin King List.
Userkare Khendjer was a minor king of the early Thirteenth Dynasty of Egypt during the Middle Kingdom. Khendjer possibly reigned for four to five years, archaeological attestations show that he was on the throne for at least three or four years three months and five days. Khendjer had a small pyramid built for himself in Saqqara and it is therefore likely that his capital was in Memphis.
