Intef III was the third pharaoh of the Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt during the late First Intermediate Period in the 21st century BC, at a time when Egypt was divided in two kingdoms. The son of his predecessor Intef II and father of his successor Mentuhotep II,〔 Intef III reigned for 8 years over Upper Egypt and extended his domain North against the 10th Dynasty state, perhaps as far north as the 17th nome. He undertook some building activity on Elephantine.〔 Intef III is buried in a large saff tomb at El-Tarif known as Saff el-Barqa.〔 ==Family== Intef III was the son of his predecessor Intef II. This is indicated by the stela of Tjeti, chief treasurer during the reigns of Intef II and Intef III. Tjeti's stele mentions the death of Intef II and goes on describing how Tjeti served Intef II's son who acceded to the throne upon the death of his father: : Then, when his ''son'' assumed his place, Horus, Nakht-neb-Tepnefer, King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Son of Re, Intef, fashioner of beauty, living like Re, forever, I followed him to all his good seats of pleasure. Intef III possibly married his sister Iah, described as a ''king's mother'' (''Mwt-nswt''), ''king's daughter'' (''S3t-nswt'') and ''priestess of Hathor'' (''Hmt-nTr-hwt-Hr'').〔Joyce Tyldesley, ''Chronicle of the Queens of Egypt'', Thames & Hudson. 2006, pp. 66-68. ISBN 0-500-05145-3〕 This indicates that Intef III's successor, Mentuhotep II, was his son. This is further confirmed by the stele of Henenu (Cairo 36346), an official who served under Intef II, Intef III and his "son", which the stele identifies as Horus Sankhibtawy (''S-ankh-()''),〔J.J. Clere, J. Vandier, ''Textes de la premiere periode intermediaire et de la XIeme dynasty'', 1st vol., Bibliotheca Aegyptiaca X. (Complete Stele on p.21 )〕〔Henri Gauthier, ''Quelques remarques sur la XIe dynastie. '', BIFAO 5, 1906, p.39〕 Mentuhotep II's first Horus name. Another piece of evidence for this parentage is a relief on the Gebel el-Silsileh in the Wadi Shatt er-Rigal, known as the Silsileh petroglyph, depicting Mentuhotep II surrounded by Iah and Intef III.〔 Additionally, Mentuhotep II's royal wife Neferu II bore the title of ''king's daughter'', and an inscription in her tomb names her mother as Iah.〔William C. Hayes: ''The Scepter of Egypt I'', New York 1953, ISBN 0870991906, p. 160, 327〕 This establishes that she was Intef III's daughter and the sister of Mentuhotep II.〔W.
