AMENEMHAT

   The name of several Egyptian princes of Dynasty 18. One is known solely from an inscription on a coffin that had been made for his reburial toward the end ofDynasty 20 or earlyDynasty 21and was rediscovered in 1918–1920 at Deirel-Bahri. He has been wrongly described as a son of Amenhotep I, but his actual parentage remains unknown. His very existence might be doubtful if the later embalmers were mistaken in their identification of the body, which was that of a one-year-old child. The eldest son of Thutmose III, who died before his father but was alive in his year 24 (1456 BC), was named Amenemhat but cannot be identified with this child as his titles indicate an older individual. Another Prince Amenemhat may have been a son of Thutmose IV.
