History

Some egyptologits believe that Sobekhotep I was the founder of the 13th Dynasty -- having been switched with Wegaf. However, he is clearly noted as pharaoh number 19 in thr Turin list, but some believe that other evidence makes it ovcious that he was interchanged with Wegaf, who then ruled about 40 years later. Sobekhotep I is the first male pharaoh to adopt the crocodile god, Sobek, into his name.

His name is also present on about a dozen monuments, plus a few mentioned in papyrii.

It is assumed that he is the son of Amenemhet IV of the 12th Dynasty. The queen Sobkenefru may have been his mother (as well as his aunt, as was common).

Sobekhotep I was followed by a pharaoh named Reniseneb, which means "The Name is Healthy", but nothing else is know about this king.
