Nehesy
Nehesy Aasehre (Nehesi) was a ruler of Lower Egypt during the fragmented Second Intermediate Period.

Recent evidence makes it possible that a second person with this name, a son of a Hyksos king, lived at a slightly later time during the late 15th Dynasty 1580 BC. It is possible that most of the artefacts attributed to the king Nehesy mentioned in the
