Anat-her

Anat-her

Anat-her was a ruler of the Hyksos Sixteenth dynasty of Egypt around 1600 BCE during what is often referred to as the Second Intermediate Period.

The 16th dynasty is one of the shadowiest in Egyptian history and probably does not represent actual rulers of Egypt proper. Anather's name has not been found represented within a cartouche and there is no evidence, therefore, that he reigned as pharaoh. Most likely he was a princeling under the authority of the 15th dynasty at Avaris.

His name, meaning 'Anath is content' refers to the Semitic goddess which affirms his non-Egyptian heritage. It is sometimes accompanied by the title 'heka kha-swt' meaning 'ruler of the desert lands'; perhaps a reference to the slice of territory under his control.
