In 2000, Daniel Polz discovered by the German Archaeological Institute since about 1860 Lost grave of Nub - cheper -Re Anjotef in Dra Abu el- Naga. Information about the position gave it the Papyrus Abbott ( " grave robbers Papyrus" ). The grave was formerly built over a small pyramid with a base length of 11 m and a calculated height of approximately 13 m.

Already Auguste Mariette found two broken obelisk with full royal titulary, who went on the transport to Cairo lost. Since the beginning of the 19th century there are parts of his grave goods in various museums, including his coffin and a diadem. On the sarcophagus is only the name " Antef " without the " nub cheper - Re". The assignment of this sarcophagus to " Nub - cheper -Re Anjotef " was, however, by complex considerations of Georg Stein Dorff.

Polz discovered in the grave shaft backfilled over 250 ceramic vessels and a heavily damaged stone head of the king. For the chronology of the 17th dynasty, the fund also has great significance: Beckerath dated Nub - cheper -Re Anjotef more than Anjotef V. at the beginning of the 17th dynasty, Polz puts it, because of the style of ceramics in the vicinity of Kings Senachtenre and Seqenenre. He will Nub - cheper - Anjotef Re ( VII )

Baker ranks Nub - cheper -Re Anjotef after his older brother, the third king of the 17th dynasty Intef V., in the royal succession as the fourth king Intef VI. The doorpost of a temple of the 17th dynasty in Thebes is the father -son relationship between Sobekemsaf I., the second king of the 17th dynasty, and Intef VI. and also the same relationship with the older brother Intef V. ( "jn jt.f ˀ 3 " Intef the Elder). It is assumed that the older brother reigned before the younger.

Nub - cheper -Re Anjotef is quite well attested by monuments in Upper Egypt ( Abydos, Koptos ). From Koptos the remains of a chapel, which can be reconstructed as far as possible and a longer royal decree come. As a new inscription has been found shows that his father was a king named Sobekemsaf. His wife was a woman with the same name: Sobekemsaf who was buried in Edfu. Her grave seems to have been found without robbing at the end of the 19th century. The objects came into the art trade.

From his court the treasurer Teti and the head of Siegler Iahnefer names are known.
