History

The pharaoh Hor is best known by one of the artifacts made of him -- the fabulous Ka statue that is in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The wooden statue of the pharaoh's ka, striding forward, has inlaid eyes and has the upraised hands (the symbl of the ka) upon its head.

How is fairly well known, which is surprising for the 13th Dynasty. His tomb was found on the north side of the pyarmid of Amenemhet III (where the statue was found). It is clearly identified as Hor, with his name in a cartouche. The tomb was unmolested by tomb robbers and contained the wood statue, a wooden coffin, and other funerary equipment.

There is mention of the later pharaoh, Khendjer, in his tomb, which may mean that the he had some part in the funerary rites.
