	Middle Kingdom of Egypt - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Middle Kingdom is a period in the history of ancient Egypt stretching from the establishment of the Eleventh Dynasty to the end of the Fourteenth Dynasty, roughly between 1991 BC and 1648 BC.
		The Thirteenth Dynasty ruled for approximately 453 Years according to Manetho but this is presumably an error for 153 Years since the digit 4 and 1 were very similar in Greek from surviving copies of his work.
		Middle Kingdom of Egypt, The Eleventh Dynasty, The Twelfth Dynasty and Thirteenth and Fourteenth Dynasties.

	Eleventh dynasty of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Manetho's statement that the Eleventh dynasty consisted of 16 kings who reigned 43 years is contradicted by contemporary inscriptions and the evidence of the Turin King List, whose combined testimony proves that it consisted of seven kings who ruled about 160 years.
		It was during this dynasty that all of ancient Egypt was united under the Middle Kingdom.
		This dynasty traces its origins to a nomarch of Thebes, "Intef the Great, son of Iku", who is mentioned in a number of contemporary inscriptions.

	First Intermediate Period - Dynasties 7-10
		In the meantime, however, a rival line (the Eleventh Dynasty) based at Thebes reunited Upper Egypt and a clash between the two rival dynasties was inevitable.Around 2055 BC a descendant of Inyotef defeated the Heracleopolitan Pharaohs, reunited the Two Lands, and ruled as Mentuhotep II thereby ending the First Intermediate Period.
		Dynasty 7 was originally a line of summation for the entire Memphite line of kings, beginning with the First Dynasty and ending with the Sixth Dynasty; Dynasty 8 was a line of summation for just the Sixth Dynasty.
		The Herakleopolitans expelled Asiatic immigrants from the Nile delta and fortified the eastern border of Egypt.

	Middle Kingdom Begins - Dynasty 11
		Apparently the Heracleopolitan king Kheti of the 9/10th Dynasty had succeeded in re-conquering this province and was threatening to do the same with the rest of Upper-Egypt.
		Either Mentuhotep IV was considered as an usurper, or the kings of the 12th Dynasty decided to re-write history to justify their claims to the throne.
		That he was not recognised as the legitimate king of the country may perhaps be supported by the many opponents to his reign: Antef, who may have been a member of the royal family, Iy-ib-khent-re and Segerseni all assumed royal titulary, thereby stating that they had more rights to the throne.

	Dynasty VI
		In addition, the next Dynasty (VII) and the First Intermediate period are marked by the rise of provincial rulers and finally by a split between Upper and Lower Egypt which was not untied for many years.
		Dynasty VI may have had as few as three kings or as many as eight depending on the source consulted.
		While at Memphis during Dynasty VIII the governors of Upper Egypt were gaining more power and slowly the Theban rule took control over Upper Egypt leaving Lower Egypt at the mercy of the crisis of famine and war.

	Thelemapedia: The Encyclopedia of Thelema & Magick \| Amoun
		The Eleventh dynasty dynasty sprang from a family in the Hermonthite nome or perhaps at Thebes itself, and adorned the temple of Karnak with statues.
		It was not, however, until the rulers of the Eighteenth dynasty carried their victorious arms beyond the Egyptian frontiers in every direction that Ammon began to assume the proportions of a universal god for the Egyptians, eclipsing all their other deities and asserting his power over the gods of all foreign lands.
		The Egyptian goose (chenalopex) is figured in the Eighteenth dynasty as sacred to Ammon; but his most frequent and celebrated incarnation was the woolly sheep with curved ("Ammon") horns (as opposed to the oldest native breed with long horizontal twisted horns and hairy coat, sacred to Chnumis).

	Egyptian Pharaohs : First Intermediate Period : Dynasty 11 :
		The end of the First Intermediate Period is a bit vague -- rival kings in different regions were vying for the throne, no centralized power existed...basically, everything was up in the air.
		Many traditional chronologies put the Theban part of the 11th Dynasty into the Middle Kingdom, breaking cleanly from the Intermediate Period after Khui in the 10th Dynasty.
		The entire dynasty is roudhly 143 years -- and the first 99 years or so were spent with two focuses of power - North and South.

		Eventually, the battle was won by the kings in Thebes, who moved on to found the Eleventh Dynasty, intending to control all of Egypt.
		The Ninth Dynasty is comprised of four kings (only two of which we know) who ruled from Hieracleopolis, and were at least recognized throughout the rest of Egypt.
		There were fourteen Heracleopolitan kings who rule the North, and shared control of the South with the contemporary Theban Dynasty XI until Mentuhotep united the country once again some time between 2047 and 2022 BCE.

		During the 22nd through 26th dynasties, the cities of Athribis and Heliopolis were under the control of a hereditary princedom, nominally subservient to the Pharaohs.
		The bases for the late 23rd dynasty dissidents (both on the West Bank) were: Herakleopolis, about 65 miles (105 km.) south of modern Cairo near Bani Suwayf, and Hermopolis, about 150 miles (240 km.) south of Cairo (near modern Mallawi), quite close to Amarna on the East Bank.
		Toward the end of the XXth Dynasty, conditions deteriorated to such a point that the High Priest of Amun, seated at Thebes (in Upper Egypt), became effectively independent, and established a line of Theocrats.

		One king of this Dynasty, Neb-hepet-Ra Montu-hotep, built a mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri and according to inscriptions from Gebelein had successful campaigns against the Nubian, Libyans and Asiatics (probably nomadic tribes of the Eastern Delta).
		From the paucity of evidence in the First Intermediate Period, there is little evidence of contact with Asia except perhaps at Byblos and with the nomadic tribes in the Sinai and eastern Delta.
		We suspect that Amenemhat, the founder of the 12th Egyptian Dynasty, was the vizier of the last king of the 11th Dynasty.

		The pharaohs of the Twelfth Dynasty are credited with the earliest known construction of a canal running through the Wadi Tumilat; it would later be renewed under kings Necho II and Darius I; (see Darius the Great's Suez Inscriptions).

		The Eleventh Dynasty was an interesting time in ancient Egyptian history.
		It is one of the most important times in all of ancient Egyptian history, because it is the transition from the old corruptions that brought the Old Kingdom down, to the more stabilized system established by the Middle Kingdom pharaohs.
		To fully understand the importance of the Eleventh Dynasty, one must first look at what it is that saw the end of the Old Kingdom.

		Thereafter the Amorite migration culminated in the rise of the Hammurabi Dynasty at Babylon.

		But their greatest migration appears to have occurred at the close of the Pelopid Dynasty, and it is probable that they were the late conquerors of Mycenæ and Tiryns.

		Amenemhet is almost certainly identical with the vizier of the same name who was in charge of an expedition to the quarries of Wadi Hammamat in the second year of the reign of Nebtowere Mentuhotep III of the Eleventh Dynasty.
		Mindful of the difficulties his predecessors of the Eleventh Dynasty had experienced in controlling Lower Egypt from Thebes, Amenemhet transferred his seat of government to a site 18 miles south of Memphis, on the boundary between Upper and Lower Egypt, where he built the fortified city of It-towy (Seizer of the Two Lands).
