Nebsenre (transliteration: nb-sn-rꜤ, meaning: "Re is Their Lord") was an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh of the Fourteenth Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period. He was of Canaanite origin and ruled from Avaris over the eastern and possibly western Nile Delta in Lower Egypt, some time during the first half of the 17th century BC.[2] Nebsenre's throne name is preserved in the Turin King List (Col 8. Line 14 as per Gardiner).[3] His reign length is recorded as 5 months and 3 days, but his years are lost.[1]

Attestation[]

Nebsenre is one of only four 14th Dynasty pharaohs listed in the Turin Canon to have left any attestation (the others being Nehesy, Merdjefare and Sekheperenre). Indeed, Nebsenre is mentioned on an artefact contemporary with his reign: a jar of unknown provenance bearing his prenomen, which was in the private Michailidis collection.[4][5]
