Mentuhotep III

Mentuhotep III was the final pharaoh of the 11th Dynasty, who ruled all of Egypt from 1458 to 1446 B.C. He succeeded his father Mentuhotep II, and his reign was followed by the fractured 13th and 14th Dynasties. More is known about this pharaoh in the revised history than the traditional.

Mentuhotep III was the son of Mentuhotep II, who was the son of Intef III, who was himself the son of Intef II. He had at least one son, who died in the events of the Exodus in 1446 B.C.

In 1458 B.C., Mentuhotep II died and passed the throne on to his son Mentuhotep III. He continued the enslavement of the Israelites. Throughout his reign, he used this forced labor to build at least one building, a temple. However, Moses came to Egypt in 1446 B.C., and with the help of divine intervention, forced Mentuhotep to let the Israelites leave. Mentuhotep III drowned in the same year, leaving himself without a successor.
