Amenemhet was a prince of 19th Dynasty. King Amenemhet's mummy was learned straight upright, shored up against the wall of the tomb of Tuthmosis IV (1401-1391 B.C.E.). He was the boy of King Tuthmosis IV, but not an heritor. Limestone canopic jars (containers for the vital organs) were found nearby, accepting his name. He plain predeceased his father and was entombed in a secondary chamber of King Tuthmosis IV's tomb in the valley of the kings on the western shore of the Nile at Thebes.
This tomb was plucked soon after the last of Tuthmosis IV and then regenerated in the prevail of Horemhab (1319-1307 B.C.E.). Tuthmosis IV's body was removed by priests of a later era and based in the tomb of Amenhotep II. The mummy of prince Amenemhet was plausibly recovered and prepared for a similar relocation but in some way overlooked in the mold. Well preserved, Amenemhet stood bolt against the wall through the centuries prior to his breakthrough.
