Sobekhotep IV

Sobekhotep IV was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh from the 13th Dynasty, ruling around 1700 BCE. He held power during a time of political fragmentation and is known for his brief reign, which may have included military campaigns to secure Egypt’s borders. His name reflects a connection to the crocodile god Sobek, symbolizing strength and protection. Although less famous than other Egyptian rulers, Sobekhotep IV's reign contributes to our understanding of Egypt's Middle Kingdom period, highlighting its complex political landscape and ongoing efforts to maintain stability and authority during turbulent times.
