Wahneferhotep

Wahneferhotep was an ancient Egyptian "king's son" who lived in the Thirteenth Dynasty, around 1700 BC. Wahneferhotep is only known from a shabti and model coffin found in the mortuary temple of the pyramid of Senusret I at Lisht, and now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. On both objects he bears the title "king's son". His name means "Neferhotep endures". Neferhotep might refer to king Neferhotep I, who was one of the most powerful rulers of the Thirteenth Dynasty and some scholars argues that this king is the most likely ruler that is mentioned in the name. However, the pottery found near the model coffins points to a later date, making it more likely that "Neferhotep" refers to another, later, king with the same name.
