Shorakaror is a person in Nubia who is named in the Amun temple of Amara after King Natakamani (approx. 50 AD) and who probably built the temple there with him. Shorakaror is still known from a temple block from Naqa , a block from Napata and from a large victory inscription at Mount Qeili , which shows him triumphant over various enemies. There he also has a second name in a cartouche , which, however, is no longer legible. Amani moose was suspected.
Since the name of Shorakaror is written in a cartouche, it has been assumed because of the victory inscription that he reigned as king after Natakamani. However, this is not certain and it could also have been just a prince or general who, like z. B. Akinidad had the honor of writing his name in a cartouche.
