Amenemhatankh

Amenemhat-ankh was an ancient Egyptian vizier during the Twelfth Dynasty, in the Middle Kingdom period.

Career He is known only by a shattered false door made from pink granite; the fragments contain his name, two titles ("dignitary" and "vizier"), and the initial part of the conventional ancient Egyptian offering formula.

Amenemhatankh is a basilophorous name, meaning "(king) Amenemhat lives": "Amenemhat" is enclosed in a cartouche, which is a royal prerogative. From that, it has been deduced that Amenemhatankh must be dated to no earlier than the 12th Dynasty, because the earliest kings named Amenemhat are indeed members of that dynasty.
