Dynasty

uncertain, possibly14th dynasty

Sheneh was a ruler of some part ofEgypt during theSecond Intermediate Period, possibly during the 17th century BC, and likely belonging to the14th Dynasty.^[2]^[3] As such he would have ruled fromAvaris over the easternNile Delta and possibly over the Western Delta as well. His chronological position and identity are unclear.

Attestations

[edit]

Sheneh is one of the few attested kings of the 14th Dynasty with three scarabs attributable to him. None of those scarabs are of known provenance however,^[3] which hampers research on Sheneh's kingdom. One scarab is currently in theBritish Museum, another in Aberdeen, catalogue number 21048, and the third one is in Moscow cat. nu. 2258.^[2]^[4]

The Moscow scarab of Sheneh exhibits a type of border decoration with representation of a rope, which was in use only in scarabs of officials of the13th Dynasty and for kingSheshi and his son Ipqu, possibly dating to the early 14th Dynasty.^[3] Thus Sheneh may have ruled in the early 14th Dynasty as well, under an unknownprenomen which could be listed in theTurin canon.

Identity

[edit]

Scarab of Sheneh, now in theBritish Museum BM EA 32392.^[5]

Sheneh is comparatively well attested for a 14th Dynasty ruler and the EgyptologistKim Ryholt consequently proposes that he may be identifiable to eitherSehebre orMerdjefare.^[2] Indeed Sehebre and Merdjefare reigned for three to four years each, the longest reigns of the dynasty, and are otherwise poorly attested.

The name of Sheneh has sometimes been translated asShenes due to a misreading of the signs forgiven life, an epithet commonly given to kings.^[3]
