Nebukaure (also Nubkaure, Nebu-kau-Re ) was an ancient Egyptian nomarch who held his office at least from the seventh to the 18th year of the reign of Sesostris III. exercised. His name is the throne name of Amenemhet II.

A longer term of office is possible, since only from the ninth year of Amenemhet III. a nomarch named Sesostris and the predecessor of Nebukaure before the seventh year of reign of Sesostris III. is so far unknown. Nebukaure had the titles hatia and imi-ra hut-netjer .

Lahunpapyri

Several correspondence between Nebukaure and the head of the house as well as the scribe Horemsaef , who performed his service in the mortuary temple of Sesostris II, are preserved under the Lahunpapyri .

In Egyptology , the fragments of the Papyrus Berlin 10012 received special attention, because there the heliacal rise of Sirius in the seventh year of Sesostris III's reign. for the 16th Peret IV was announced in writing. In this case it is a copy of a letter from the temple diary to the chief reading priest Pepihetep.
