'Ammu Aahotepre was a pharaoh of the 14th Dynasty who ruled over parts of Lower Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period.^[5]^[2]

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.

Scarab seals

'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]

Prenomen Aahotepre

Scarab seals from 1x Lachish,^[8] 2x Tell el-Ajjul,^[9] 1x Canaan (?),^[10] 1x Delta (?),^[11] 27x Provenance Unknown.^[12]

Nomen 'Ammu

Scarab seals from 2x Tell el-Ajjul,^[13] 1x Abydos,^[14] 1x Semna,^[15] 26x Provenance Unknown.^[16]

Theories

His reign is believed to have lasted about 15 years, from 1760 BC until 1745 BC.^[6]

Identification

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]
