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.

What did Otzi the Iceman do every day?
One theory is that died while on a raiding party at the time of his death. Nothing is certain regarding his daily life.
There is no conceivable way to know, since he died in the 4th century BC and none of his personal effects were found preserved in the bog from which he was exhumed.
the god of embalming was Anubis. That's why he was always there, like his statue was the when they were carrying the mummified pharaoh to his tomb.
Who was the pharaoh who believed in monotheism?
Akhenaten (A Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt) abandoned traditional Egyptian polytheism and promoted worship centered on the Aten (god of the sun), which is sometimes described as monotheistic or henotheistic (a god in a position of superiority in a pantheon of gods). This change did not survive his death around 1335 BCE.
Where is Dashavatar Vishnu temple located?
There is no such temple. We in Indias have only Sriram and Srikrishna temples mostly which were 7th and 8th avatar respectively. Matsya, Kurm , Varah, Nrusinh, Parshuram, are the first six avatars respectively. There is debate for 9th one- some say it is Balram, elder brother of Srikrishna in dvaparyug. But it is consired as Shesh-the serpant king on which Lord Vishnu rests with Srilaksmi. Some consider Budhha as the 9th avatar. The 10th avatar which lord Vishnu will take will be at the end of the Kaliyug, the time period in which we at this moment are living, so is yet to happen. ----
Who was the first Egyptian person who thought of mummification?
Mummification was likely not invented so much as discovered. Early Egyptian burial simply involved leaving a body out in the Sahara, which provided sufficiently dry conditions for natural preservation, provided it was protected from scavengers.
Over time, this process was refined and made more elaborate, not by any one person but by a slow process of cultural and religious development.
