[edit] Evidence
Sekhemre-Khutawy is named in the Nile Flood records (providing a year date '4') at Semna near the second cataracts. He built in Deir el-Bahari and is mentioned in inscriptions at the Monthu temple at Medamud.[1]
[edit] Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep
A king with the name Khutawyre appears in the Turin King List as the first ruler of the 13th Dynasty. But this king is thought to be Khutawyre Wegaf. A king named Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep II appears later in the 13th dynasty. [2]
Some researchers, especially Kim Ryholt, have argued that the writer of the King list confused the name Khutawyre with the name Sekhemre-Khutawy and they place Wegaf in the middle of the 13th Dynasty and Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep at the beginning of the dynasty. The problem is not yet resolved. Ryholt believes that Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep I was a son of Amenemhet IV. [3] Sobekhotep I appears in some of the literature as Khaankhre Sobekhotep I however.[2]
[edit] Sekhemre Khutawy Pantjeny
Sekhemre Khutawy Pantjeny is a local ruler from Abydos probably contemporary with the 16th dynasty. His prenomen is Sekhemre Khutawy and his nomen is Pantjeni. This king is known from a stela found at Abydos dedicated to the King's Son Djehutya and the King's Daughter Hotepnofru. The stela is presently in the British Museum (BA EA 630). [3]
