Neferkamin Anu was a pharaoh of ancient Egypt during the First Intermediate Period, c2181 – 2055 BC. According to the Abydos King List and the latest reconstruction of the Turin canon by Kim Ryholt, he was the 13th king of the Eighth Dynasty. This opinion is shared by the Egyptologists Jürgen von Beckerath, Thomas Schneider and Darrell Baker. Neferkamin Anu would have reigned over the Memphite region as a pharaoh of the Eighth Dynasty.
Attestations
Neferkamin Anu is mentioned in entry 52 of the Abydos King List, which was compiled in the early Ramesside period. The list names his predecessor Neferkare Pepiseneb and his successor, Qakare Ibi. The Turin canon identifies this king with a Nefer mentioned in column 4, line 10 of the document, which agrees with the Abydos king list. Any detail about his reign is lost in a lacuna of the Turin canon.
Name of Neferkamin Anu
The name of Neferkamin Anu is transliterated as Neferkamin Anu even though it is reported as Sneferka Anu on the Abydos King list. This transliteration is because the hieroglyph sign O34, reading (s), could replace the sign R22 for the god Min and reading Mn.
