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]
