Egyptian Name: Paanchi
Paanchi. Among those who contended unsuccessfully for the judgment seat was Paanchi (see Helaman 1:3, 7, 8). Egyptologist Gnther Vittmann, in an article on the name P-nkhi (pronounced "Pi'ankhi" or "Pa'ankhi"), indicates that it is a Twenty-Fifth-Dynasty royal name of Meroitic origin.20 Even critics of the Book of Mormon concede that this name is indisputably Egyptian in provenance.
