A literary text, The Prophecy of Neferti, is used to shed light on the beginning of the reign of Amenemhat I (Berman 1985, 19). The text, written in the Eighteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom but set in the Fourth Dynasty reign of King Sneferu, describes a future in which the situation in Egypt will be a time of civil strife, disorder, and foreign invasion. “Then a king will come from the South, Ameny, the justified, by name, son of a woman of Ta-seti, child of Upper Egypt” (Lichtheim 1973, 143). The name Ameny is short for Amenemhat (Posener 1956, 22–23).
