Periodization of ancient Egypt

TheTenth Dynasty ofancient Egypt (Dynasty X) is often combined with the7th,8th,9th and early11th Dynasties under the group titleFirst Intermediate Period.^[1]

Rulers

[edit]

The 9th Dynasty was founded atHerakleopolis Magna, and the 10th Dynasty continued there. At this time Egypt was not unified, and there is some overlap between these and other local dynasties. TheTurin Canon lists eighteen kings for this royal line, but their names are damaged, unidentifiable, or lost.^[2]

The following is apossible list of rulers of the Tenth Dynasty based on the Turin Canon, as Egyptologists have differing opinions about the order of succession within the two dynasties. Among them, only Wahkare Khety and Merykare are undoubtedly attested by archaeological finds:

**Tenth Dynasty (according toHayes)** (c. 2130 – 2040 BC)^[3]
Name	Image	Comments
Meryhathor(?)		Existence doubtful, known from a damaged graffito atHatnub
Neferkare VIII		Might be theKaneferre mentioned in the tomb of thenomarch Ankhtifi
Wahkare Khety III		Possibly the purported author of theTeaching for King Merykare
Merykare		Main opponent of theTheban pharaohMentuhotep II
Name lost		An ephemeral ("x months") successor of Merykare
