Tenth Dynasty of Egypt
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Tenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (notated Dynasty X) is often combined with Dynasties VII, VIII, IX and XI (Thebes only) under the group title First Intermediate Period. Dynasties IX and X date approximately from 2160 to 2025 BC.[1]
Rulers
Dynasty IX was founded at Herakleopolis Magna, and Dynasty X 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.[2]
The following is a possible 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:
| Name | Comments |
|---|---|
| Meryhathor(?) | - |
| Neferkare VIII | Might be the Kaneferre mentioned by Ankhtifi |
| Wahkare Khety III | Possibly the purported author of the Teaching for King Merykare |
| Merykare | - |
| [name lost] | An ephemeral ("x months") successor of Merykare |
