Mentuhotep III, the fifth king of
the 11th Dynasty, was the son of Montuhotep II and Queen Tem. His
preference was for the arts and rebuilding. He also opened trade with the
Red Sea region and was involved with the Wadi Hammamet quarrying
operations. He built a shrine to the god Thoth near Deir el Bahri. His
mortuary temple was never finished.
