Intef I
open-in-new
<p>Sehertawy Intef I was a local <a href="/facts/Nomarch/USKDaQUo">nomarch</a> at <a href="/facts/Thebes%2c_Egypt/SkdRYU22">Thebes</a> during the early <a href="/facts/First_Intermediate_Period/qBa1rnLj">First Intermediate Period</a> and later an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. He was the first member of the <a href="/facts/Eleventh_dynasty_of_Egypt/jR4NnIcH">11th Dynasty</a> to lay claim to a <a href="/facts/Ancient_Egyptian_royal_titulary/2lLrtx58">Horus name</a>. Intef reigned from 4 to 16 years c. 2120 BC or c. 2070 BC, during which time he probably waged war with his northern neighbor, the <a href="/facts/Nomos_of_Haraw%25C3%25AE/FIFtDXW6">Coptite</a> nomarch Tjauti. Intef was buried in a saff tomb at <a href="/facts/El-Tarif/lwxVWJ6h">El-Tarif</a>, known today as Saff el-Dawaba. </p>
