Sekhemre Wahkhau Rahotep
Appearance
Rahotep (or more properly Sekhenrewahkhaw Rahotep) was an Egyptian king who reigned during the Second Intermediate Period, when Egypt was ruled by multiple kings. Kim Ryholt, in his book on the Political Situation in Egypt, suggests that Rahotep was the first king of the 17th Dynasty. Rahotep is well known from a stela found at Koptos reporting the restoration of the temple.[1] Otherwise he is only known from the stela of an official and from the bow of a king's son. His name appears in the Karnak king list.[2]
