2022年3月6日 · This book presents the latest research findings and materials on the enigmatic figure of the late Amarna period: Smenkhkare.

Smenkhkare was the eleventh pharaoh of Egypt's famous 18th Dynasty. In point of fact, he may never have ruled on his own, though in the later years of Akhenaten reign, he was probably a co-regent.

Ankhkheperure Smenkhkare (ancient Egyptian smnḫ-kꜣ-rʿ, "Strong is the Soul of Ra") was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, successor of Akhenaten, and predecessor of Tutankhamun. Smenkhkare's rule lasted for approximately 1 year.[1]

He is part of the successor and/or coregent kings of Amenhotep IV-Akhenaten founder of the “Amarna Period”. Smenkhkare’s reign has extended for a brief period, three years at most, which could have been co reigned in part with his predecessor (Murnane, 1977, page 179).

Semenkhkare (about 1337-1334 BC) King of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Some scholars identify this ruler as Nefertiti, wife of Akhenaten, because the throne-name Ankhkheperure occurs first with a nomen Neferneferuaten, and that had regularly been part of the name of Nefertiti; other scholars consider Semenkhkare to be a younger brother of Tutankhamun, with a very short reign.
