Mentuhotep I Tepy-a, Pharaoh of Egypt

Mentuhotep I was a local Egyptian prince at Thebes during the First Intermediate Period. He became the first openly acknowledged ruler of the Eleventh dynasty by assuming the title of first "supreme chief of Upper Egypt" and, later, declaring himself king over all Egypt.[2] He is named as a nomarch in Thutmose III's royal list of the 'Hall of Ancestors' monument at Karnak.[3] He was also the father of Intef I, his successor.
