The Latin term modern scholars borrow for Egypt's erasure of a person's name and image, aimed at destroying their existence in memory and the afterlife. Applied wholesale to the Amarna kings, it is the reason they vanished from Egypt's own king lists. The practice is attested; the Latin label is modern convention.
