The first of these kings, =Neb-ḥapt-Rā Menthu-ḥetep=, probably Menthu-ḥetep II, appears to have been an able ruler, who reigned for about 46 years. He was a great warrior, and established his authority from one end of Egypt to the other. Among his other achievements was the pacifying of the Āamu, or the tribes of the Eastern Desert and Sinai. He built a fine temple at Dêr al-Baḥarî, the remains of which have been recently discovered and excavated. This building is unique in being associated with a pyramid-tomb. The fragments of the painted limestone reliefs which have been found among its ruins lack nothing in finish, fidelity to nature, and execution, whilst in design and general treatment they may be compared with some of the best funerary reliefs of the Vth dynasty. In the Northern Gallery, Bay 3, an interesting collection of such fragments is exhibited, and worthy of note are: Head of a painted limestone statue of Neb-ḥapt-Rā Menthu-ḥetep, wearing the crown of the South (No. =104=); portion of a painted relief, with a figure of the king being embraced by Rā (No. =105=); relief, with a seated figure of the king and his prenomen 𓍹𓐼𓇳𓎟𓊤𓐽𓍺 (No. =106=); relief, with a figure of a king grasping an Āamu foe by one leg (No. =108=); relief, with a figure of a =hippopotamus= (No. =110=); relief, with a figure of a prince called =Menthu-ḥetep= (No. =111=); slab, inscribed =Sma-taui=, the Horus name of the king (No. =117=); and a portion of an inscription referring to the overthrow of the Āamu by the king (No. =118=).
