Menkhaure Snaaib was an Egyptian pharaoh during the Second Intermediate Period. According to egyptologists Kim Ryholt and Darell Baker he was a king of the Abydos Dynasty, although they leave his position within the dynasty undetermined.[3][4] Alternatively, Jürgen von Beckerath sees Snaaib as a king reigning near the end of the 13th Dynasty.[5][6][7]
The only contemporary attestation of Snaaib's reign is a painted limestone stele "of exceptionally crude quality"[4] discovered in Abydos and now in the Egyptian Museum (CG 20517). The stele gives the nomen, prenomen and horus names of the king and shows him wearing the khepresh and adoring the god Min.[3][4]
In his study of the second intermediate period, Kim Ryholt elaborates on the idea originally proposed by Detlef Franke that following the collapse of the 13th Dynasty with the conquest of Memphis by the Hyksos, an independent kingdom centered on Abydos arose in Middle Egypt.[8] The Abydos Dynasty thus designates a group of local kinglets reigning for a short time in central Egypt. Ryholt notes that Snaaib is only attested by his stele from Abydos and may thus belong to this dynasty.[4] This conclusion is shared by Darell Baker but not by von Beckerath, who places Snaaib near the end of the 13th Dynasty.[7]
