Nubanchre
Nubanchre (also Nub-anch-Re or Nebu-anch-Re ) is regarded by parts of the research as an ancient Egyptian king ( pharaoh ) of the Second Intermediate Period .
The throne name of this king is only recorded on a scarab . Jürgen von Beckerath assigns him to the 16th dynasty and sees him as a vassal of the Hyksos . The scarab, however, shows no signs of royal symbolism. The name is not written in a cartouche , nor is it introduced by royal titles. Kim Ryholt examined this type of seal and came to the conclusion that it is not a question of kings, but rather scarabs with various sacred symbols (here: gold, life, Ra ) that were produced as amulets .
