Intef II

The third pharaoh of the Eleventh Dynasty
Also known as: Antef II · Anjotef II · Inyotef II
The name written in the Turin papyrus 6.14 is lost in lacuna, which is the position the name of Intef II would occupy by counting backwards from Mentuhotep II in 6.16. Further confirmation comes from the 49 year reign which is mentioned in 6.14, which fits well the fifty years reign of Intef II. The stela of Tjetji who was an high ranking official during both Intef II and III, solidifies the succession order. The Son of Ra title is always found inside the cartouche of Intef II. None of the Intefs of the Eleventh Dynasty used the full titulary of the Old Kingdom.
