Icon of person Intef III

Intef III was the third pharaoh of the Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt during the late First Intermediate Period in the 21st century BC, at a time when Egypt was divided in two kingdoms. The son of his predecessor Intef II and father of his successor Mentuhotep II, Intef III reigned for 8 years over Upper Egypt and extended his domain North against the 10th Dynasty state, perhaps as far north as the 17th nome. He undertook some building activity on Elephantine. Intef III is buried in a large saff tomb at El-Tarif known as Saff el-Barqa. Read more on Wikipedia

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Intef III is the 4,062nd most popular politician (down from 3,547th in 2019), the 198th most popular biography from Egypt (down from 187th in 2019) and the 93rd most popular Egyptian Politician.

The "Inter III" is most famous for the following quote: "The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting."
