DYNASTY 13

(c. 1795–1650 BC)

   Stated by Manetho to consist of 60 kings of Thebes who reigned for 453 years. With this dynasty began the Second Intermediate Period. Manetho’s numbers and total of years are clearly inaccurate, but the Turin Royal Canon reveals a long list of kings, many with short reigns. Many rulers can be identified from contemporary monuments.
