This king had a West Semitic (Ammorite) name like his predecessor and there are different ways to transcribe the sounds. Two other suggestions: Yakbemu and Jacbaam. His name has not been found on bigger artifacts like stelae or rests of buildings, only on small scarab-seals. On the other hand they are as many as at least 112 with his name written on them and found in a wide geographical area from deep down in Lower Nubia in the south (2) to Palestine in the north (7). The remaining 103 are all of unknown provenance like the only cylinder seal known of him. A fair guess might be that the bulk of them have their origin in Egypt itself.
He's not on Manetho's list and has been identified, with rather fair accuracy, by the throne name (prenomen) Sekhaenre. His reign was of unknown duration in around 1560-1565 BC.
According to the modern theory that dynasty 16 was an Egyptian line of kings from Thebes, Yakbim with his foreign name must be placed elsewhere, maybe among the first five kings in the 14th dynasty where the Turin Papyrus seems to have a large piece missing.
How long did the Chang dynasty rule?
From the first Chinese dynasty that was around the era of 1,600 B.C., to the last emperor in 1912 A.D. The last emperor was briefly restored to power in 1917, but this only lasted for 12 days.
What things were laid on the mummy before it wasplace in the coffin?
They would remove the internal organs, line it with a special type of paper I think, then they would put spices or something like that like myrrh, frankincense, from a certain part of the country... =)
