Seuserenre Bebiankh was a native ancient Egyptian king of the 16th Theban Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period and, according to Kim Ryholt, the successor of king Semenre. He is assigned a reign of 12 years in the Turin Canon (11.8).[1]
Bebiankh was succeeded either by a poorly known king named Sekhemre Shedwast or by the equally shadowy ruler Seneferankhre Pepi III.[2]

Attestations

Bebiankh is principally known by a stela[3] found at Gebel Zeit that attests to mining activity conducted in this area by the Red Sea during his reign and preserves his royal names Seuserenre and Bebiankh.[4] The modest stela records this king's activities in the Gebel Zeit galena mines.[5] He is also known to have built an extension to the Temple of Medamud.[6] Bebiankh's nomen was also found on a bronze dagger found in Naqada and now in the British Museum, under the catalog number BM EA 66062.[1]

gollark: I just don't think that stupidly high bandwidth and low latency is particularly necessary on mobile internet connections and worth the extra cost, especially with data caps.

gollark: eBay.

gollark: More seriously, 5G isn't *just* the mmWave thing with terrible range, IIRC it can use existing spectrum a bit better.

gollark: I use a 100km Ethernet cable with my phone, it works fine. I don't understand people's obsession with "wireless".
