Mentuhotep IV, the sixth king of the 11th Dynasty, was the son of Mentuhotep III and Queen Imi. Following in his father’s footsteps, Mentuhotep carried on with mining and quarrying. He had an immense sarcophagus lid quarried in Wadi Hammamet. Mentuhotep founded the harbour town of Kuser on the Red Sea. The Egyptians, preparing for a journey to the mystical land of Punt, needed a harbour town for the shipbuilding operations. Many of these projects were conducted by Mentuhotep's successor, Amenemhat.
