Aamu was an ancient Egyptian petty king of the Hyksos period of the Second Intermediate Period . Its exact classification is controversial.

supporting documents

Presumably he was the local king in the Nile Delta . The name Aamu is only recorded on about 30 scarabs . Von Beckerath assigned him to the 16th dynasty, which he regarded as the Vassallendynasty of the Hyksos. Initially, however, he did not assign him a specific throne name. Aamu's scarabs are typologically so similar to those of a king named Cha-user-Re that William A. Ward considers both kings to be identical. He has recently been followed by Ben-Tor in her investigation of the scarabs of the Second Intermediate Period. Ryholt, however, assigned him the throne name Aa-hetep-Re and sees in him a ruler of the 14th dynasty , while he describes the 16th dynasty as Theban.
