In 2065 bce, Inyotef II succeeded his father, who had been a powerful nomarch of Thebes, and gathered the five south nomes (administrative districts) of Upper Egypt under his leadership. Inyotef II went his reign with a driving thrust northwest; his tomb inscription suggests that he extended his kingdom by seduction, thus acquiring one very serious area Abydos, in the Thinite nome, the chief religious centre (sacred to Osiris) of the Middle Kingdom and the home of the earlier kings of a united Egypt. After a made reign of 50 years, Inyotef was sank in a tomb in westerly Thebes. Inyotefs funerary temple there takes a stela rendering him with five of his favourite tags.

Khui

Hieroglyphic Name:
Khui Hieroglyphic Name

King Khui is a figure that only has been old for once and it's in connective with quite an object for an instable period same this. He established (or at least got) a big pyramid at the otherwise unknown site of Dara based 30 km north of Asyut in Middle Egypt. It was first investigated in the years some 1950 by the Frenchman Weill.

At first its expression made it supposed whether it was a pyramid or a stepped mastaba, because the mud brick super structure had easy sides and was developed in steps. The plan was about direct though, with a base side of telling 130 metres, making it truly a great pyramid just about the size of king Djoser's. An individual architectural detail was got - the expression had assailed corners, a rare characteristic in the Egyptian innovation of tombs and buildings in general. Today (2002) the condition is in a ruined state and it's hard to say whether it was gone after once being finished, or if it was finished at all. The outer walls today reach about four metres above the close desert and more probes are involved to get a grip of this unusual monument. A writing of its plan is read below. When the essential chamber was recorded nothing at all discovered in it. What makes Khui to be the thought builder is an inscription on a block of stone that mayhap once was a part of the pyramid. It was found in a tomb just to the south and had an offering scene in relief etched in to it, plus his address written inside a cartouche. This is up to now (year 2002) the only prove effective that a ruler bearing that name has ever existed.

The entrance corridor at the north side is at first crosswise and open and then goes a descending vaulted tunnel ending at a individual burial chamber at a straight of about 9 times below ground surface. It is lined with some hewn limestone, credibly taken from dynasty 6 tombs in the vicinity. The outer social system on the other hand, is made purely of muck bricks and the leaning sides are still open. The material making the secret core of the monument was plainly just filling of beat and sand arguing that the owner, disdain the great size of his tomb, was a ruler of special means.

What seems have been a mortuary temple has also been found, but its general plan can't be set. It consists of the outside part of massive mud brick masonry with a distance of about 35 ms. Khui may have been a localized ruler and the site is placed center between the two centers at the time - Herakleopolis in the northwest and Thebes in the southern.

Wahkare Akhtoy

Wahkare Akhtoy was a King from the 10th dynasty, First Intermediate Period, (about  2075 BC). Wahkare Akhtoy III was a long time powerful king at a time of uneasiness and rebellious in Egypt. He seems to have taken with the Asiatics who were infiltrating the Delta and determined new colonies of Egyptians in the north-east of the country. The south continued to be hard also; with his ally Tefibi, Akhtoy laid ware the ancient site of This and, mistakenly as he held, permitted his troops to prize the tombs of the ancestors. The engagement is read in the autobiography of Ankhtify in his tomb at El-Moalla.

He is credited as the author of the Commands  to  his  son  and  successor Merikare, which are amongst the most noted and frequently regurgitated of the literary works of the Heracleopolitan point.

King Meri-Hathor is not found in Abydos King List or in Turin papyri King List. His burial place stranger, uut the name of Mery (Hathor) is known only from a severely damaged walls of tombs and temples in Middle Egypt.


Merikare

Hieroglyphic Name :
Merikare Hieroglyphic Name

Name: Merikare, Merykare and Merykara

Merikare (likewise Merykare and Merykara) was an ancient Egyptian king of the 10th Dynasty who was towards the end of the First Intermediate Period. His name cannot be established in the Turin King List; besides his dates are shifting.

Checking to many scholars, he dominated at the end of the 10th Dynasty following his father's long reign in his middle-age. The identity of his predecessor (the so-called "Khety III" who was the proposed author of the Teaching for King Merikare) is yet a motion of argue among Egyptologists. Some scholars tend to name Merikare's herald with Wahkare Khety. These sebayt ("precepts", in ancient Egyptian)  possibly composed under the rule of Merikare himself and fictitiously ascribed to his father  are a collection of teachings for good governance. The text also quotations the eastern borders, recently secured but still in demand of the king's care. In the text, Merikare's unnamed father references having made Thinis, but he proposes Merikare to deal more leniently with the troublesome Upper Egyptian lands.

Once crowned, about 2075 BCE, Merikare wisely submitted himself to the universe of two separate kingdoms (the Herakleopolite and the Theban ones) and tried to keep the policy of passive coexistence achieved by his father. It appears that the period of peace taken a certain sum of prosperity to Merikare's realm. Some time later, the king himself was special to sail up the Nile with his court on a great fleet. Once he given Asyut, the king put in the loyalist nomarch Khety II, who delivered the goods his passed father Tefibi; he likewise made renovations at the local temple of Wepwawet. After that, Merikare advanced farther upriver to the town of Shashotep, likely to squelch a revolt, and at the same time as a present of force to the disruptive southern border arenas.

Merikare died in c. 2040 BCE, a few months before the fall of Herakleopolis. Thus, the final frustration by the Thebans, led by Mentuhotep II of the eleventh Dynasty, was likely brought down upon an ephemeral, unnamed heir.

Nebkaure Akhtoy Hieroglyphic Name
Piece of a Jasper with
the Cartouche of
Nebkaure Khety from
Nebkaure Khety was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the ninth or tenth Dynasty, through the First Intermediate Period. Practically nothing is experienced about the cases of Nebkaure's reign; due to the several views of scholars, even its datation is still difficult. Many egyptologists specify Nebkaure to the 9th Dynasty, maybe the fourth king (and the second king having the name Khety), just afterward Neferkare. On the otherwise hand, other scholars such as Jrgen von Beckerath believe instead that Nebkaure prevailed during the incidental 10th Dynasty, perchance before Meryibre Khety.

Like some of the kings who foregone or succeeded him, attestations of King Nebkaure Khety are low. On the Turin King List he was tentatively set in the register 4.21. The only latest object taking his cartouche is a weight named from red jasper which was unearthed by Flinders Petrie at Tell el-Retabah, a positioning along the Wadi Tumilat in the eastern Delta; this weight is now showed at the Petrie Museum in London.

Khetys (date unknown)
Merikar (date unknown)
Kaneferré (date unknown)
Ity (date unknown)

Ity

Ity (date unknown) was the rule of the Ninth Dynasty, date of reign unknown His capital was at Herakleopolis, and he was the successor  of  Kh-neferr.  Itys  brief  reign  is  obscure,  and  his burial site is obscure.



Kaneferr

Kaneferr (ruled about 2040 B.C.E.) was the ruler of the 9th Dynasty His  name  reads  as  Beautiful  Is  the  Soul  of  Re. Kaneferrs rule is not well good, but the noted Ankhtify helped him, and he is named in a tomb at Moalla. His sepulture site is obscure.

Merikar

Hieroglyphic Name:
Merikar Hieroglyphic Name

Merikar (date unknown) was the ruler  of  the  Herakleopolitan Ninth Dynasty (2134 B.C.E.). He was belike the son of Khety III. The instructions for merikare, a didactic document attributed by scholars to  his  father,  was  saved  for  him  reportedly,  although the paternity has not been proven. The text concerns the events of Khety III's reign, a point in which the Inyotefs were beginning their assaults on the Herakleopolitans. Khety III sorrows many issues that took place, and he  speaks  of  the  ideals  and  the  feel  that  the  rulers and  themes  should  take  in  order  to  attain  spiritual due date.

Merikar  comes out  to  have  been  middle-aged  when Khety  bequeathed  him  the  Herakleopolitan  throne.  He faced growing tensions with Thebes in an uncertain political era of transfer, but he died before the armies of Montuhotep II raised  upon  his  capital.  ITY was  his replacement. Merikar's mortuary pyramid was made near Memphis City.

Khetys

Hieroglyphic Name:
Khetys Hieroglyphic Name


Name: Khetys and Wahkare Khety

There is no contemporary demonstrate taking his name. His cartouches looks on a 12th Dynasty wooden coffin inscribed with coffin texts and originally made for a steward named Nefri, was observed in Deir el-Bersha and today is in the Cairo Museum (CG 28088). On it, Wahkare Khety's name was found once in position of Nefri's, but it is stranger if the texts were originally inscribed for the king, or if they were simply copied later from an earlier source. His name is maybe also good in the Royal canon of Turin.

Wahkare Khety was an Ancient Egyptian king of the 9th or 10th Dynasty during the First Intermediate Period. The identity operator of Wahkare Khety is contentious. While some scholars conceive that he was the break of the 9th Dynasty, many others set him in the attendant 10th Dynasty.

If Wahkare Khety was the break of the ninth Dynasty, he may be discovered with the hellenized king Achthos, the founder of this dynasty reported to Manetho. Wahkare Khety may have been a Herakleopolitan prince who gained from the failing of the Memphite rulers of the 8th Dynasty to appropriate the throne of Middle and Lower Egypt about 2150 B. C. This hypothesis is held by contemporary inscriptions consulting to the northern, Herakleopolitan kingdom as the Home of Khety, although that only evidences that the founder of the 9th Dynasty was a Khety, but not of necessity Wahkare Khety.

Chap. C AND CXXIX . THE BOOK OF MAKING PERFECT THE KHU AND OF CAUSING HIM TO GO FORTH INTO THE BOAT OF RA ALONG WITH THOSE WHO ARE IN HIS FOLLOWING. From the Papyrus of Nu

Vignette : A boat, wherein stand the deities Isis, Thoth, Khepera, and
Shu, and the deceased sailing on a stream . The vignette in the Safte
Recension (see Lepsius, op . cit., Bl . 37) shews the deceased poling along
a boat wherein are Ra and the Bennu bird, and in front of the boat stand
the emblem of the East, the god Osiris, and the Tet, i. e ., the emblem
of Osiris and of stability . The four short lines of text written over the
boat read :- The overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, Nu,
triumphant, raiseth up the Tee, and stablisheth the Buckle, and he saileth
with Ra into any place that he pleaseth .

CXXIX is, however, fuller than that of Chapter C, and it may
conveniently be divided into two parts, the first of which refers
to the picture which is ordered to be written upon a piece of
new papyrus, and the second to the Chapter itself ; the origi-
nals of both are to be found in the variant texts of the rubric
of the Chapter published by Naville (op. cit. Bd. II . P . 236) .
