Shorkaror was a king of Kush who ruled from Meroë in the second half of the 1st century AD.[ The carving is near to the trade route to Kassala and is the easternmost inscription of the Meroitic kings found so far.]
Shorkaror is attested as a crown prince in the co-reign of Amanitore and Natakamani, meaning that he was likely their successor.[

George Andrew Reisner believed that Shorkaror was buried in pyramid Beg. N 10 in Meroë.[Reisner, G. A., The Meroitic Kingdom of Ethiopia: A Chronological Outline , The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology'', 9, No. 1/2 (Apr., 1923), pp. 34-77.] This is now considered unlikely given that Beg. N 10 is dated to the 2nd century BCE.[
