An inscription of an (almost) unknown king of the 17th Dynasty has been found in the Temple of Karnak by a team working in the Temple of Ptah. His name is Senakht-en-Re and this is the first mention of him found in Egypt, although there were some Greek mentions of him apparently. This has implications for the chronology. For a king to be unknown also suggests his tomb remains to be discovered.
