Last updated

Semenre (Smenre [1] , Semenenre [3] ) is a poorly attested Theban pharaoh during the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt who succeeded the equally obscure Nebiriau II. [3] [4] He reigned from 1601 to 1600 BC (Kim Ryholt) [4] or ca. 1580 BC (Detlef Franke) and belonged to the 16th Dynasty (Ryholt) [4] or the 17th Dynasty [1] (Franke).

Attestation

For this ruler only the throne name is known, carved on a tin-bronze axe head of unknown provenance, now in the Petrie Museum, London (UC30079).

Turin King List

The Turin Canon 11.7 mentions "Semenra" between Nebitawra (11.6) and Seuserenre (11.8). [5] [1] Semenre was succeeded by Seuserenre Bebiankh [3] [4] who left behind more traces of building projects and mining activity in his reign than most kings of this dynasty with the exception of Djehuti. [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Wazad</span> Egyptian pharaoh

Wazad was an Egyptian pharaoh during the Second Intermediate Period. According to the Egyptologists Kim Ryholt and Darrell Baker, Wazad was a member of the 14th Dynasty of Egypt reigning c. 1700 BC. As a king of the 14th Dynasty, he would have reigned from Avaris over the eastern Nile Delta and possibly over the western Delta as well. The Memphis-based 13th Dynasty reigned over Middle and Upper Egypt at the same time. Alternatively, according to Jürgen von Beckerath and Wolfgang Helck, Wazad was a ruler of the 16th Dynasty and a vassal of the Hyksos 15th Dynasty. This view is debated in Egyptology, in particular because Ryholt and others have argued that the 16th Dynasty was an independent Theban kingdom rather than a vassal dynasty of the Hyksos.
