Pharoah Tao I of Egypt 
Tao was born in 1605 BC. Tao's father was Pharoah Inyotef VII of Egypt and his mother is Sobkemsaf of Egypt. His paternal grandfather was Pharaoh Sobekhemsaf II of Egypt and his paternal grandmother is Queen Nubkha-Es of Hyksos; his maternal grandfather was Pharoah Nebiryerawet I at Thebes. He had a sister named daughter. He died in 1558 BC.General Notes
Pharoah of Thebes in Egypt (XVII Dynasty)
The birth name of king Tao (in picture left) and his throne name Sa-nakht-en-re (within the cartouche in the right picture) has the meaning: "[I am] Perpetuated like Re".
Another name form used by Egyptologists starting in the 1980s is Taa or Táa, but if it's proper for this king is not quite sure since some will give him the nomen Sianun. Thus it's possible that there never was a Tao I and the only one with this name (and very well attested) is the follower below.
Nothing much is known from his rule but three remnants are known:
1) a stamp seal found at Abu el-Naga. 2) His throne name Senakhtenre within a cartouche written on an offering table from Thebes and now exhibited in the Archaeological Museum in Marseilles. 3) A depiction of him within a tomb at Thebes and probably from after his time.
The duration of his reign is not clear, but his time in office is likely to have taken place around the years 1559-1558 BC and have lasted for about a year.
