Hor was an Egyptian king of the 13th Dynasty. He appears in the Turin King List as Au-ib-Rê. He most likely reigned only for a short time, not long enough to prepare a pyramid, which was in this dynasty still the common burial place for kings.
Hor is mainly known from his burial in a shaft tomb found at Dahshur next to the pyramid of king Amenemhat III. The tomb was found essentially intact and still contained the partly gilded wooden coffin of the king, a naos with a statue, some jewelry, the canopic box with canopic vessels, two inscribed stelae and several other objects.
Next to the burial of the king was found the undisturbed tomb of the 'king's daughter' Nubhetepti-khered. She was likely a daughter of King Hor or otherwise a daughter of Amenemhat III.
As far as is known, Pharaoh Hor seems to have been an ephemeral ruler, not least because his reign seems to have been notably short. He nevertheless bequeathed to posterity one of the most frequently reproduced examples of Ancient Egyptian art: the photo shows the well-known wooden statue now in the Cairo Museum (CG259). This is one of the best-preserved and most accomplished wooden statues to survive from antiquity, and illustrates an artistic genre that must once have been common in Egyptian art, but has rarely survived in such good condition. Hor is believed to have had a reign of only seven months around the year 1760 BC. This short period corresponds very well to the archaeological remains, since he will not have had time to commission a substantial tomb.

Genres: Drama, Thriller,I see nothing in their eyes
- there's nothing to replace the thought I have
and when I feel that shiver up my spine,
it's so good to know the devil's on my side
But who's going to hold these hands that shake,
who's going to mend these bones that break,
who'll wipe these eyes that never see,
the chance of life in front of me.
I'm coming back into the - I'm coming back into the sun,
I'm coming back into the - I'm coming back into the sun.
When you find that God's already there,
and he puts a seal of love upon your door,
well I was a praying man at first,
but now I never get down on the floor.
But who's going to hold these hands that shake,
who's going to mend these bones that break,
who'll wipe these eyes that never see,
the chance of life in front of me.
I'm coming back into the - I'm coming back into the sun,
I'm coming back into the - I'm coming back into the sun.
Now look at him he walks away in shame,
if he gets there is the answer still the same,
under that big sky is there room to rest my head,
perhaps you'll find him there,
