Seuserenre Bebiankh was a king in Upper Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period. He is often placed in the 16th Theban Dynasty and his prenomen is mentioned in the Turin King List with a reign of 12 years.
Based on an interpretation of the Turin King List, Bebiankh was succeeded either by a poorly known king named Sekhemre Shedwast.[1] Also suggested is the equally shadowy ruler Seneferankhre Pepi III.[2]
Attestations
Bebiankh is only attested in a small region of Upper Egypt.
At Gebel Zeit (Red Sea), a modest stela preserves his prenomen Seuserenre and nomen Bebiankh, attesting to mining activity in the nearby gelena mines.[3][4][5] Mining expeditions to Gebel Zeit often departed from Coptos (Quft), cf. Minemhat of Coptos.
At Medamud, he built an extension to the Temple of Mentu.[6]
In Naqada, the nomen of Bebiankh is found on a bronze dagger with the inscription: Son of Ra, Bebiankh, given life.[7][1]
Non-contemporary attestations
The Karnak King List from the time of Thutmose III mentions: 27. Se-user-en-re. Here he is between Nubkheperre and Senakhtenre.
The Turin King List 11:08 from the time of Ramesses II mentions: The Dual King Seuserenra reigned 12 years, months lost, x days.[8] In the list he is preceded by 11:07 Semenra and succeeded by 11:09 Sekhemra Shedwaset, often interpreted as chronological.
