Bakenranef


Bakenranef, known by the ancient Greeks as Bocchoris, was briefly a king of the Twentyfourth dynasty of Egypt. Based at Sais in the western Delta, he ruled Lower Egypt from c. 725 to 720 BC. Though the Ptolemaic period Egyptian historian Manetho considers him the sole member of the Twentyfourth dynasty, modern scholars include his father Tefnakht in that dynasty. Although Sextus Julius Africanus quotes Manetho as stating that Bocchoris ruled for six years, some modern scholars again differ and assign him a shorter reign of only five years, based on evidence from an Apis Bull burial stela. It establishes that Bakenranefs reign ended only at the start of his 6th regnal year which, under the Egyptian dating system, means he had a reign offull years. Bakenranefs prenomen or royal name, Wahkare, means Constant is the Spirit of Re in Egyptian.
