The Kehek (or Qeheq) were a minor Ancient Libyan group that battled with the Egyptians during the New Kingdom of Egypt. They spoke the Kehek language which is the earliest attested non-semitic and non-egyptian Afroasiatic language, though other details are not known about it except for possible links with proto-Berber. They are mentioned in Papyrus Anastasi I as part of Egyptian troops in theoretical invasion to Djahy along with Sherden, Meswesh, Nubians and Egyptian archers.[1] They were also employed as an auxiliary foreign corps in Egypt after their defeat to Ramses III, in Memphis in 1188 B.C.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
