Nubnefer

Nubnefer ( Nub - nefer ), also Nebu - nefer, is the birth name of an ancient Egyptian King ( Pharaoh ) of the 2nd Dynasty ( Early Dynastic period). Information needed to reign point, government length, and relations with the rulers of the second dynasty are currently impossible because it is not mentioned in any known king list and could not be linked to a contemporary Horus name.

Evidence base

The name Nubnefer is occupied by only two shale fragments derived from the great galleries of the West Pyramidennekropole of King Djoser ( the beginning of the 3rd Dynasty ) at Saqqara.

Identity

Since " Nubnefer " is so far only survived as a maiden name, prevails in the research disagreement about exactly when these rulers ruled and who were his predecessors and successors. For this reason, there are multiple link tests with an archaeologically proven Horus name.

In the past Nubnefer was preferentially associated with the Horus name Hor - Nebre, but this never was unchallenged. The reason for the earlier statement was the Ramesside cartouches name Wadjenes, which is presented in the royal ancestral lists as a direct successor of the Ninetjer. Since none of the previously archaeologically proven Horus name could be associated with the name " Wadjenes ", it was assumed that he must be due to a prescription. The author, the archaeological extensively occupied the throne name " Nisut - Bitj - Nebti Weneg " offered as the Weneg flower in italics executed hieratic writing very Gardiner special characters M13B ( papyrus stalk with two leaves at the base) is similar. Ramesside scribe would therefore misinterpreted the name " Weneg - Nebti " as " Wadjenes ". For the name " Nubnefer " to - makeshift - king offered to Nebre because they sought a suitable counterpart to the Ramesside cartouches name Kakau. This is again presented in the Ancestry lists as a direct predecessor of Ninetjer, is thus actually be linked to Nebre. Therefore, it was believed for a long time, " chocolate milk " is a reading of " Nubnefer ".

In 2007 it succeeded Jochem Kahl to link Nebres name with the throne name of Weneg. Kahl showed that Wenegs name originally stood next to the Horus name of the Nebre, but had been overwritten by Ninetjer. It is therefore assumed in Egyptology increasing tendency that Weneg and Nebre are identical to each other. On the two artifacts that bear Nubnefers name, also a building called " Menti - ankh " is called, which was demonstrably established only under Ninetjer, the third ruler of the 2nd dynasty. Nubnefer can therefore have only one hand parallel to Ninetjer or otherwise governed only by him. This finding supports the statements by Wolfgang Helck, Peter Kaplony and Toby Wilkinson, consider what Nubnefer as a direct or indirect successor to the Ninetjer, with Wolfgang Helck Nubnefer as the third successor of Ninetjer behind the kings Wadjenes and Sened ansetzt.Iorwerth Eiddon Stephen Edwards is convinced that is identical with King Nubnefer Ninetjer perhaps. Jochem Kahl is uncertain, but points to a possible link with King Sa, which he rated with a "? ".
