Djehutyemhat,[2] orThotemhat,[3] was anancient Egyptian ruler ("king") ofHermopolis during the25th Dynasty.
Like his probable predecessorNimlot, he proclaimed himself king, adopting the fullroyal titulary although he was no more than a governor of Hermopolis and a vassal of theKushite 25th Dynasty. Hiscartouches appear carved on the shoulders of a damagedblock statue depicting the priest Tjanhesret, found inLuxor in 1909 and now in theCairo Museum (CG 42212), and on abronzenaos-shaped amulet ofAmun-Ra of unknown provenance – possibly fromThebes – and now in theBritish Museum (EA11015).[3][4][5] The only known depiction of the king is found on a votive scribal pallet now in the collection of theEgypt Centre of Swansea University.[2]
BritishEgyptologistKenneth Kitchen has suggested that the successor of Djehutyemhat could have been the poorly known "king"Pedinemty.[6]
