The third pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty
Prenomen: Nubkaura
Also known as: Amenemhet II
Amenemhat II's throne name is present on the Abydos and Saqqara king lists, but on the Turin Canon his name is lost due to damage, but can with confidence be placed at 6.22 based on the known succession of the Twelfth Dynasty. His name is also present in Manetho's king list as Ammanemes.
