Concerning ancient sources, Egyptologists and Historians alike call for caution about the credibility, exactitude and completeness of these sources, many of which were written long after the reigns they report. An additional problem is that ancient king lists are often damaged, inconsistent with one another and / or selective. The following ancient king lists are known ( along with the dynasty under which they were created ) ) : Den seal impressions ( 1st dynasty ) ; found on a cylinder seal in Den 's tomb. It lists all 1st dynasty kings from Narmer to Den by their Horus names. Palermo stone ( 5th dynasty ) ; carved on an olivin - basalt slab. Broken into pieces and thus today incomplete. Giza King List ( 6th dynasty ) ; painted with red, green and black ink on gypsum and cedar wood. Very selective. South Saqqara Stone ( 6th dynasty ) ; carved on a black basalt slab. Very selective. Karnak King List ( 18th dynasty ) ; carved on limestone. Very selective. Abydos King List of Seti I ( 19th dynasty ) ; carved on limestone. Very detailed, but omitting the First Intermediate Period. Abydos King List of Ramses II ( 19th dynasty ) ; carved on limestone. Very selective. Saqqara King List ( 19th dynasty ), carved on limestone. Very detailed, but omitting most kings of the 1st dynasty for unknown reasons. Turin King List ( 19th dynasty ) ; written with red and black ink on papyrus. Most possibly the most complete king list in history, today damaged. Manetho 's Aegyptiaca ( Greek Period ) ; possibly written on papyrus. The original writings are lost today and many anecdotes assigned to certain kings seem fictitious.

First ruler who uses the sun - symbol in his royal name, could be identical to king Weneg. 14 years Nynetjer Greek form : Binóthris. May have divided Egypt between his successors, allegedly allowed women to rule like pharaohs. 43 -- 45 years Weneg - Nebty Greek form : Ougotlas / Tlás. Could be an independent ruler or the same as Peribsen, Sekhemib - Perenmaat or Raneb. Around 2740 B.C. Senedj Greek form : Sethenes. Possibly the same person as Peribsen. This, however, is highly disputed. 47 years ( Supposedly ) Seth - Peribsen Used a Seth - animal above his serekh rather than an Horus falcon. He promoted the sun - cult in Egypt and reduced the powers of officials, nomarchs and palatines. Some scholars believe that he ruled over a divided Egypt. c. 2890 - 2686 B.C. Sekhemib - Perenmaat Could be the same person as Seth - Peribsen. Neferkara I Greek form : Néphercherés. Known only from ramesside king lists, not archaeologically attested. Neferkasokar Greek form : Sesóchris. Known only from ramesside king lists, not archaeologically attested. Old Kingdom legends claim that this ruler saved Egypt from a long lasting drought. Hudjefa I Known only from ramesside king lists, his `` name '' is actually a paraphrase pointing out that the original name of the king was already lost in ramesside times. Khasekhem ( wy ) Greek form : Chenerés. May have reunified Egypt after a period of trouble, his serekh name is unique for presenting both Horus and Set. Old Kingdom Main article : Old Kingdom of Egypt Third Dynasty Main article : Third Dynasty of Egypt Name Image Comments Dates Djoser Greek form : Tosórthros. Commissioned the first Pyramid in Egypt, created by chief architect and scribe Imhotep. 19 or 28 years c. 2670 BC.

In the necropolis of his unfinished step pyramid, the remains of a 2 - year old infant were found. 2649 -- 2643 Sanakht Greek form : Necheróphes. Could be the same as Nebka, this is disputed amongst scholars. c. 2650 Khaba Possibly built an unfinished step pyramid, could be identical with Huni. 2643 -- 2637 Huni Greek form : Áches. Could be the same as Qahedjet or Khaba. Possibly built an unfinished step pyramid and several cultic pyramids throughout Egypt. Huni was for a long time credited with the building of the pyramid of Meidum. This, however, is disproved by New Kingdom graffitos which praise king Snofru, not Huni. 2637 -- 2613 Fourth Dynasty Main article : Fourth Dynasty of Egypt Name Image Comments Dates Sneferu Greek form : Sóris. Reigned 48 years, giving him enough time to build the Meidum Pyramid, the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. Some scholars believe that he was buried in the Red Pyramid. Long time it was thought that the Meidum Pyramid was not Snofru 's work, but that of king Huni. Ancient Egyptian documents describe Snofru as a pious, generous and even accostable ruler. 2613 -- 2589 BC Khufu Greek form : Cheops and Suphis. Built the Great pyramid of Giza. Khufu is depicted as a cruel tyrant by ancient Greek authors, Ancient Egyptian sources however describe him as a generous and pious ruler. He is the main protagonist of the famous Westcar Papyrus. The first imprinted papyri originate from Khufu 's reign, which may have made ancient Greek authors believe that Khufu wrote books in attempt to praise the gods. 2589 -- 2566 BC Djedefre Greek form : Rátoises. Some scholars believe he created the Great Sphinx of Giza as a monument for his deceased father. He also created a pyramid at Abu Rawash. However, this pyramid is no longer intact as it is believed the Romans recycled the materials it was made from. 2566 -- 2558 BC Khafre Greek form : Chéphren and Suphis II. His pyramid is the second largest in Giza. Some scholars prefer him as the creator of the Great Sphinx before Djedefra. Ancient Greek authors describe Khafra as likewise cruel as Khufu. 2558 -- 2532 BC Baka / Bauefrê Greek form : Bikheris. Could be the owner of the Unfinished Northern Pyramid of Zawyet el'Aryan. Menkaure Greek form : Menchéres. His pyramid is the third and smallest in Giza. A legend claims that his only daughter died due an illness and Menkaura buried her in a golden coffin in shape of a cow. 2532 -- 2503 BC Shepseskaf Greek form : Seberchéres. Owner of the Mastabat el - Fara'un. 2503 -- 2498 BC Thamphthis -- According to Manetho the last king of the 4th dynasty. He is not archaeologically attested and thus possibly fictional. -- Fifth Dynasty The Fifth Dynasty ruled from 2498 to 2345 BC. Name Image Comments Dates Userkaf Buried in a pyramid in Saqqara. Built the first solar temple at Abusir. 2498 -- 2491 BC Sahure Moved the royal necropolis to Abusir, where he built his pyramid. 2490 -- 2477 BC Neferirkare Kakai Son of Sahure, born with the name Ranefer 2477 -- 2467 BC Neferefre Son of Neferirkare 2460 -- 2458 BC Shepseskare Reigned most likely after Neferefre and for only a few months, possibly a son of Sahure. Few months Nyuserre Ini Brother to Neferefre, built extensively in the Abusir necropolis. 2445 -- 2422 BC Menkauhor Kaiu Last pharaoh to build a sun temple 2422 -- 2414 BC Djedkare Isesi Effected comprehensive reforms of the Egyptian administration. Enjoyed the longest reign of his dynasty, with likely more than 35 years on the throne. 2414 -- 2375 BC Unas The Pyramid of Unas is inscribed with the earliest instance of the pyramid texts 2375 -- 2345 BC Sixth Dynasty The Sixth Dynasty ruled from 2345 to 2181 BC. Name Image Comments Dates Teti According to Manetho, he was murdered. 2345 -- 2333 BC Userkare Reigned 1 to 5 years, may have usurped the throne at the expense of Teti 2333 -- 2332 BC Meryre Pepi I -- 2332 -- 2283 BC Merenre Nemtyemsaf I -- 2283 -- 2278 BC Neferkare Pepi II Possibly the longest reigning monarch of human history with 94 years on the throne. Alternatively, may have reigned `` only '' 64 years. 2278 -- 2184 BC Neferka Only mentioned in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt. Reigned during Pepi II ; was possibly his son or co-ruler. 2200 -- 2199 BC Merenre Nemtyemsaf II Short lived pharaoh, possibly an aged son of Pepi II. 1 year and 1 month c. 2184 BC Neitiqerty Siptah Identical with Netjerkare. This male king gave rise to the legendary queen Nitocris of Herodotus and Manetho. Sometimes classified as the first king of the combined 7th / 8th Dynasties. Short reign : c. 2184 -- 2181 BC First Intermediate Period The First Intermediate Period ( 2181 -- 2060 BC ) is a period of disarray and chaos between the end of the Old Kingdom and the advent of the Middle Kingdom. The Old Kingdom rapidly collapsed after the death of Pepi II. He had reigned for more than 64 and likely up to 94 years, longer than any monarch in history. The latter years of his reign were marked by inefficiency because of his advanced age. The union of the Two Kingdoms fell apart and regional leaders had to cope with the resulting famine. The kings of the 7th and 8th Dynasties, who represented the successors of the 6th Dynasty, tried to hold onto some power in Memphis but owed much of it to powerful nomarchs. After 20 to 45 years, they were overthrown by a new line of pharaohs based in Herakleopolis Magna. Some time after these events, a rival line based at Thebes revolted against their nomial Northern overlords and united Upper Egypt. Around 2055 BC, Mentuhotep II, the son and successor of pharaoh Intef III defeated the Herakleopolitan pharaohs and reunited the Two Lands, thereby starting the Middle Kingdom. Seventh and Eighth Dynasties ( combined ) The Seventh and Eighth Dynasties ruled for approximately 20 -- 45 years. They comprise numerous ephemeral kings reigning from Memphis over a possibly divided Egypt and, in any case, holding only limited power owing to the effectively feudal system into which the administration had evolved. The list below is based on the Abydos King List dating to the reign of Seti I and taken from Jürgen von Beckerath 's Handbuch der ägyptischen Königsnamen as well as from Kim Ryholt 's latest reconstruction of the Turin canon, another king list dating to the Ramesside Era. Name Image Comments Dates Menkare Likely attested by a relief fragment from the tomb of queen Neit.

The Turin King List has 18 kings reigning in the Ninth and Tenth Dynasties. Of these, twelve names are missing and four are partial.

The 11th dynasty originated from a dynasty of Theban nomarchs serving kings of the 8th, 9th or 10th dynasty. Name Image Comments Dates Intef the Elder Iry - pat Theban nomarch serving an unnamed king, later considered a founding figure of the 11th Dynasty. -- The successors of Intef the Elder, starting with Mentuhotep I, became independent from their northern overlords and eventually conquered Egypt under Mentuhotep II. Name Image Comments Dates Mentuhotep I Tepy - a Nominally a Theban nomarch but may have ruled independently. ? -- 2134 BC Sehertawy Intef I First member of the dynasty to claim a Horus name. 2134 -- 2117 BC Wahankh Intef II Conquered Abydos and its nome. 2117 -- 2069 BC Nakhtnebtepnefer Intef III Conquered Asyut and possibly moved further North up to the 17th nome. 2069 -- 2060 BC Middle Kingdom The Middle Kingdom ( 2060 -- 1802 BC ) is the period from the end of the First Intermediate Period to the beginning of the Second Intermediate Period. In addition to the Twelfth Dynasty, some scholars include the Eleventh, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Dynasties in the Middle Kingdom. The Middle Kingdom can be noted for the expansion of trade outside of the kingdom that occurred during this time. This opening of trade eventually led to the downfall of the Middle Kingdom, induced by an invasion from the Hyksos. Eleventh Dynasty continued The second part of the Eleventh Dynasty is considered to be part of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. Name Image Comments Dates Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II Gained all Egypt c. 2015 BC, Middle Kingdom begins. 2060 -- 2010 BC Sankhkare Mentuhotep III Commanded the first expedition to Punt of the Middle Kingdom 2010 -- 1998 BC Nebtawyre Mentuhotep IV Obscure pharaoh absent from later king lists ; tomb unknown.

Name Image Comments Dates Sehetepibre Amenemhat I Seized power after overthrowing Mentuhotep IV. Died assassinated. 1991 -- 1962 BC Kheperkare Senusret I ( Sesostris I ) Built the White Chapel 1971 -- 1926 BC Nubkaure Amenemhat II -- 1929 -- 1895 BC Khakheperre Senusret II ( Sesostris II ) -- 1897 -- 1878 BC Khakaure Senusret III ( Sesostris III ) Most powerful of the Middle Kingdom pharaohs. 1878 -- 1860 BC Nimaatre Amenemhat III -- 1860 -- 1815 BC Maakherure Amenemhat IV Had a co-regency lasting at least 1 year based on an inscription at Konosso. 1815 -- 1807 BC Sobekkare Sobekneferu A rare female ruler. 1807 -- 1802 BC Seankhibtawy Seankhibra Enigmatic king of the Twelfth Dynasty. He was either a usurper or identical with one of the first three kings of the Dynasty. Second Intermediate Period The Second Intermediate Period ( 1802 -- 1550 BC ) is a period of disarray between the end of the Middle Kingdom, and the start of the New Kingdom. It is best known as when the Hyksos, whose reign comprised the Fifteenth, made their appearance in Egypt. The Thirteenth Dynasty was much weaker than the Twelfth Dynasty, and was unable to hold onto the two lands of Egypt. Either at the start of the dynasty, c. 1805 BC or toward the middle of it in c. 1710 BC, the provincial ruling family in Xois, located in the marshes of the eastern Delta, broke away from the central authority to form the Canaanite Fourteenth Dynasty. The Hyksos made their first appearance during the reign of Sobekhotep IV, and around 1720 BC took control of the town of Avaris ( the modern Tell el - Dab'a / Khata'na ), conquering the kingdom of the 14th dynasty. Then, some time around 1650 BC the Hyksos, perhaps led by Salitis the founder of the Fifteenth Dynasty, conquered Memphis, thereby terminating the 13th dynasty. The power vacuum in Upper Egypt resulting from the collapse of the 13th dynasty allowed the 16th dynasty to declare its independence in Thebes, only to be overrun by the Hyksos kings shortly thereafter. Subsequently, as the Hyksos withdrew from Upper Egypt, the native Egyptian ruling house in Thebes set itself up as the Seventeenth Dynasty. This dynasty eventually drove the Hyksos back into Asia under Seqenenre Tao, Kamose and finally Ahmose, first pharaoh of the New Kingdom. Thirteenth Dynasty The Thirteenth Dynasty ( following the Turin King List ) ruled from 1802 to around 1649 BC and lasted 153 or 154 years according to Manetho. This table should be contrasted with Known kings of the 13th Dynasty. Name Image Comments Dates Sekhemre Khutawy Sobekhotep I Founded the 13th Dynasty. His reign is well attested.

Fourteenth Dynasty The Fourteenth Dynasty was a local group from the eastern Delta, based at Avaris, that ruled from either from 1805 BC or c. 1710 BC until around 1650 BC. The dynasty comprised many rulers with West Semitic names and is thus believed to have been Canaanite in origin.
