Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Sekhemre-Wepmaat Intef-Aa (sometimes Intef V) was an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the 17th Dynasty of Egypt, who lived late during the Second Intermediate Period, when Egypt was divided in two by Hyksos-controlled Lower Egypt and Theban-ruled Upper Egypt.
Biography
Sekhemre-Wepmaat Intef is sometimes referred to as Intef V,[1][2] and sometimes as Intef VI.[3] His nomen, Intef-Aa, translates as "His father brought him, the great" or "Intef, the great."[4] His name may also render as Inyotef-aa.
He ruled from Thebes and was probably buried in a tomb in the necropolis of Dra' Abu el-Naga'.
Family
It is assumed that Sekhemre-Wepmaat Intef-aa and Nubkheperre Intef were brothers, due to the inscription of Nubkheperre on the coffin of Intef-aa. Furthermore, it is assumed that Nubkheperre, and also Intef-aa, were sons of a king called Sobekemsaf, based on an inscription from a doorjamb from a 17th Dynasty temple at Gebel Antef.[5]Template:Rp Two kings named Sobekemsaf are known, Sobekemsaf I and Sobekemsaf II, and it is believed that the doorjamb refers to Sekhemre Shedtawy Sobekemsaf (Sobekemsaf II).

Burial
It is believed he was buried in a pyramid tomb in the 17th Dynasty royal necropolis at Dra' Abu el-Naga' and that his tomb was only found and looted in the late 19th century.[6][7]
Pyramid
Sekhemre-Wepmaat Intef-aa's pyramidion was found at Dra Abu el-Naga inscribed with the king's name and had a slope of 60 degrees.[1] The pyramidion is now in the British Museum (BM EA 478).[8] The pyramid tomb of his brother Nubkheperre Intef was found in 2001.[9]
Coffin and burial equipment
The coffin of Sekhemre-Wepmaat Intef-aa (Louvre E 3019) was a rishi coffin discovered in the 19th century by inhabitants of Kurna. The coffin preserved an inscription which reveals that this king's brother Nubkheperre Intef buried – and thus succeeded – him.[5]Template:Rp Sekhemre-Wepmaat Intef-aa's canopic chest was also found. The Priesse Papyrus was found inside the rishi coffin.[10]Template:Rp
