Neferkamin

Name of Neferkamin
Throne name	Nefer-ka-Min Nfr-k3-Mnw With perfect Ka , a Min Senefer-ka S.nfr-k3 With perfect Ka
List of Kings of Abydos (Seti I) (No.47)	Throne name: Senefer-ka S.nfr-k3 With perfect Ka

Neferkamin , also Neferkamin I. , actually Nefer-ka-Min , was an ancient Egyptian king ( Pharaoh ) of the 8th Dynasty ( First Intermediate Period ).

The name of the king is mentioned in the list of kings in the mortuary temple of Seti I in Abydos (No. 47). There the Min symbol ( Gardiner list R22) in an “S” (Gardiner O34) has been misunderstood. In the British Museum in London there are gold plates with his name on it, which give the correct reading.
