Amenemhat IV of Egypt 
Amenemhat was born in 1840 BC. Amenemhat's father was Pharoah Amenemhat III of Egypt. His paternal grandfather was Pharoah Senwosret III of Egypt and his paternal grandmother is Princess Mereret III Al-Khem of Egypt. He had a brother and a sister, named Potiphera and Sobeknefru. He died in 1785 BC.General Notes
Amenemhet IV was the seventh king of the 12th dynasty and probably the son of Amenemhet III. Due to his father’s long reign, he was probably more than middle aged when he entered office. He seems not to have had a male heir and was succeeded by his half sister (and most likely wife) Sobeknefru. Few of his monuments have survived, and little is known about the events during his reign.
According to historian Manetho he ruled for only 8 years.
The Royal Canon of Turin gives him 9 years and 4 months.
This short reign is also confirmed by a few contemporary sources and indicate that he was already an elderly man when he became pharaoh.
