About Khamure

Khamure was a statesperson.

Attestations Khamure is one of the few attested kings of the 14th Dynasty with two scarab seals attributable to him, both of unknown provenance. under the catalog number 11819, while the other was sold at an auction at Lotte New York Palace Hotel in December 1991.

The Petrie Museum scarab is peculiar in that it has a unique and elaborate decoration on its back indicating that it was given to an official of the highest rank. The Egyptologists Kim Ryholt and Darrell Baker reject this reading, since Gardiner's sign N5 for the sun-disk is present on the seal.

Although the chronological position of Khamure remains uncertain, Ryholt has proposed that he ruled in the 14th Dynasty, some time before Yaqub-Har and Yakareb. This estimation is based on a seriation of the scarabs dating to the Second Intermediate Period.
