Smenkhkare Imyremeshaw was an Egyptian pharaoh of the mid 13th dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period. Imyremeshaw reigned from Memphis, starting in 1759 BC〔 or 1711 BC.〔Thomas Schneider following Detlef Franke: ''Lexikon der Pharaonen'', Albatros, 2002〕 The length of his reign is not known for certain; he may have reigned for 5 years and certainly for less than 10 years.〔 Imyremeshaw is attested by two colossal statues now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. __FORCETOC__ == Attestations == Imyremeshaw is attested on the Turin canon, on column 7, line 21 (Alan Gardiner's entry 6.21) as ''()kare Imyremeshaw''. The main contemporary attestations of Imyremeshaw are a pair of colossi dedicated to Ptah "He who is south of his wall, Lord of Ankhtawy" (''rsy-snb=f nb ˁnḫt3wy''), a Memphite epithet indicating that the statues must originally have been set up in the temple of Ptah in Memphis.〔 The colossi were later usurped by the 15th dynasty Hyksos ruler Aqenenre Apepi who had his name inscribed on the right shoulder of each statue with a dedication to "Seth, Lord of Avaris" and had the statues placed in his capital, Avaris. Later, the colossi were moved to Pi-Ramesses by Ramses II who also had his name inscribed on them together with a further dedication to Seth. Finally, the statues were moved to Tanis during the 21st dynasty where the colossi remained until the 1897 excavations under the direction of Flinders Petrie.〔〔Darrell D. Baker: ''The Encyclopedia of the Pharaohs: Volume I - Predynastic to the Twentieth Dynasty 3300–1069 BC'', Stacey International, ISBN 978-1-905299-37-9, 2008, p. 134〕〔Flinders Petrie: ''A history of Egypt from the earliest times to the 16th dynasty'', pp. 209-210, 1897, (available online )〕 The two statues are now in the Egyptian Museum and are numbered JE37466 and JE37467. The only other contemporary attestation of Imyremeshaw is a white steatite bead bearing the inscription "The good god, Smenkhkare, beloved of Sobek, Lord of Shedyt". The bead is now in the British Museum, numbered BM EA74185.〔〔(British Museum database )〕 Although the provenance of the bead is unknown, egyptologists Darrell Baker and Kim Ryholt propose that the reference to Shedyt, a town close to Memphis, on the bead could indicate that the bead originates from this location. Finally, W. Davies has proposed that the torso of a statuette discovered in the ruins of a 13th dynasty pyramid at Saqqara south and dating "to () close successor of Khendjer" may belong to Imyremeshaw. The fragment however is uninscribed and Davies' identification of the owner of the statuette as Imyremeshaw is based solely "on grounds of provenance".〔〔W. Davies: ''A royal statue reattributed'', British Museum occasional paper 28, London, 1981〕 The statuette is now in the Egyptian Museum, JE54493. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Imyremeshaw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
