Egyptian Pharaoh. He ruled Egypt during the Fourteenth Dynasty, at the end of the First Intermediate Period. When he came to power in 2118 BC Egypt was ruled by a number of independent local dynasties, but he gradually brought the south of the country under his control and regained possession of the important city of Abydos. After these victories the remainder of his reign was peaceful and by the time of his death his power extended over the whole of Upper Egypt, with expeditions being sent as far as Nubia. When he died in 2069 BC he was buried in one of a number of "Saff" or "Row" tombs at Dra' Abu el-Naga.
