Q

Historians had introduced the speculative personage as one of the 25th Dynasty Pharaohs who succeeded Pharaoh Pianhki and presumably reigned from 712 B.C. to 706 B.C. According to the Persian King Sargon’s inscription , this nominated Pharaoh was described as “…The King of Meluhha…” ( Melulukka and Beluha ) , which were the Sumerian names of the prominent trading partners of Sumer during the Bronze Age.
