Samontu (or Zamonth) was an ancient Egyptian vizier who is thought to have been in office during the reign of Amenemhat III, at the end of the Twelfth Dynasty and early Thirteenth Dynasty, during Middle Kingdom period.
==Family== The name Samontu (Egyptian Sꜣ-Mnṯw) is a theophoric name consisting of the elements Sa (son) + Montu (the god of war Montu), referring to the Middle Kingdom warrior deity. The name appears in several transliteration variants, including Samonth or the older variations Zamont, and Zamonth. Wolfram Grajetzki also refer to him as Zamont Resseneb, with his grandson being Resseneb.
