Hor

Reign length Hor Awibre's reign length is partially lost to a lacuna of the Turin canon and is consequently unknown. According to the latest reading of the Turin canon by Ryholt, the surviving traces indicate the number of days as "[... and] 7 days". This led scholars such as Miroslav Verner and Darrell Baker to believe that Hor Awibre's reign was ephemeral, while Ryholt's reading leaves a longer reign possible and indeed Ryholt credits Hor Awibre with 2 years of reign.

Burial Shaft Tomb Shaft Tomb of Hor Awibre (no. 1) north of the Pyramid of Amenemhat III

At Dahshur, the Shaft-tomb of Hor Awibre is located inside the Pyramid Complex of Amenemhat III, reusing and expanding a shaft-tomb originally made for a member of the royal court of Amenemhat III. Ten such shaft-tombs were located north of the pyramid, where Hor Awibre occupies the first and Nubhotepti-Khered the second. His tomb was found nearly intact in 1894 by Jacques de Morgan working in collaboration with Georges Legrain and Gustave Jequier. It was nothing more than a shaft built on the north-east corner of the pyramid of the 12th Dynasty pharaoh Amenemhat III. or otherwise a daughter of Amenemhat III.

Mummy

The mummy of the king had been ransacked for his jewelry and only Hor Awibre's skeleton was left in his coffin.

Burial Equipment Drawing by Jacques de Morgan of the scepters and staves of Hor Awibre. Burial goods include a canopic chest, canopic jars, gold-leaf, and a ka-statuette. His burial goods show a special type of hieroglyphs known as "incomplete hieroglyphs", which developed in the reign of Amenemhat III onwards (i.e. burial equipment of Nefruptah), where parts of animal hieroglyphs have been ritually 'mutilated' removing their legs etc.

Although the tomb had been pillaged in antiquity, it still contained a naos with a rare life-size wooden statue of the Ka of the king. This statue is one of the most frequently reproduced examples of Ancient Egyptian art and is now in the Egyptian Museum under the catalog number CG259. The king's wooden funerary mask, its eyes of stones set in bronze, small statues, alabaster and wooden vases, some jewelry, two alabaster stelae inscribed with blue painted hieroglyphs and a number of flails, scepters and wooden staves which had all been disposed in a long wooden case. These had been intentionally broken in pieces. No evidence has been found that relate Hor Awibre to his predecessor on the throne, Renseneb, which led Ryholt and Baker to propose that he was an usurper.

Some Egyptologists speculate his reign was from c. 1777 BC until 1775 BC or for a few months, c. 1760 BC or c. 1732 BC.
