Dynasties of Ancient Egypt

The Tenth dynasty of Egypt is often combined with the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th (Thebes only) Dynasties of ancient Egypt under the group title, the First Intermediate Period.

Rulers

Known rulers, in the History of Egypt, for the Tenth Dynasty[1] are as follows (dates are uncertain):

Ninth and Tenth Dynasties
Name Comments
Akhtoy Meryibtowe -
Akhtoy Wahkare -
Akhtoy Nebkaure -
Merykare -

The Ninth Dynasty was founded at Herakleopolis Magna, and the Tenth Dynasty continued there. At this time Egypt was not unified, and there is some overlap between these and other local dynasties. The Turin Canon lists eighteen kings for this royal line, but their names are damaged, unidentifiable, or lost.[1]
