History

Wegaf is usually placed as the first pharaoh of the 13th Dynasty. Like most of the pharaohs of this period, he ruled for only a short time -- a little over two years, according to the Turin canon.

He probably ruled from the current capital of Itj-tawy, and he and about ten of his successors had relatively stable rules, prior to the chaos of the later Second Intermediate Period.

Almost nothing remains to attest to Wegaf's rule. A single scarab seal has been found and there are two stelae in Karnak and Nubia with his name. A statue in the Egyptian Museuam in Cairo was recently reevaluted and determined to probably be long to Wegaf.
