Sobekneferu was the first confirmed woman to rule Egypt in her own right as 'female king' and the first to adopt the full royal titulary. She was also the first ruler associated with the crocodile god Sobek by name, whose identity appears in both her birth and throne names.
The ancient Egyptian historian and priest maniton said that she was also the sister of Amenemhat IV, but this has not been proven true.
Her name is preserved in a cartridge, and she has her pyramid in the Huara region. But Neferuptah died at an early age. The head of the reigning queen, Sobek Neferu. Her reign period, Sobek neferu, is the first female pharaoh known to have firm evidence, although Netokris may have reigned in the sixth dynasty, and there are five queens.
She died without an heir, and by the end of her reign, the great Twelfth Dynasty and the Golden Age of the Middle Kingdom period ended
The islands bear her name. There is one statue of Sobek Neferu with a head that is known. There is a bust in the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, it was lost in the Second World War, and it has been proven that it belongs to her. That sculpture is now known only from her photographs and photo presentation slides. The sculpture arrived at the museum in 1899. It is confirmed that the lower half belongs to one of the Kings as the royal symbol of the unification of the two kingdoms is located on the side of the throne. It is known that she added some accessories to the Tomb of King Amenemhat III in Hawara (Herodotus called that tomb the palace of the lost), and also constructed structures in the ancient city of Ehnasia. He found a cylinder-shaped seal in good condition, bearing her name and royal title, which is now in the British Museum. There is a drawing of the Nile in the Nubian Fort in the Kuma region that records the Nile rising to 1.83 meters in the third year of her reign. Another description discovered in the eastern desert records: "the fourth year, the second month of the winter season"
We have not yet confirmed her tomb, although she may be buried in a pyramid in Mazgouna that lacks inscriptions of description, located immediately north of a similar pyramid of Amenhotep IV. There is a place called Sekhnem Neferu mentioned in a papyrus found in harajah. This may be the name of her pyramid.
Sobek neferu is the greatest first female pharaoh known for her firm evidence, Al though netokris may have reigned in the sixth dynasty and there are five queens thought to have reigned in the first dynasty.
Most likely, Amenemhat IV died without a male heir, and, accordingly, his daughter Sobek neferu ascended the throne.
