Neferhotep III

The nebty name of Neferhotep III

Neferhotep III was one of the last rulers of the Thirteenth Dynasty. His date of rule is unknown. A stela in Karnak mentions his help to the temples and shrines of Thebes. He is suspicious to have broken the khepresh, the war crown made of electrum. This appears  to  be  the  first  reference  to  that particular style of royal  headgear. Neferhotep III  conducted military campaigns  against the Hyksos, but  the Asiatics were in full hold of their Delta territories by that time.
