This is in particular the case for the Seventh and Eighth dynasties (Memphites), the Ninth and Tenth (Heracleopolites), the Eleventh (Theban -- contemporary with the Tenth), the Thirteenth (Theban) and the Fourteenth (Xoite -- in part simultaneous), the Fifteenth, and the Sixteenth (Hyksos), and the Seventeenth Dynasty (Theban -- partly contemporary with the Sixteenth.
In some cases the second element was a mere grammatical duplicate of the first, as Ament, wife of Amen (Amon), and was considered as one with it; it was then natural to identify the son with his parents, and so arose the concept of one god in three forms.
From Khafre, the second king of the fourth dynasty, to the end of the sixth dynasty, the name Re is a part of the name of almost every one of those kings, and the monuments show that during that period numerous temples were erected to the chief of the Heliopolitan Ennead in the neighbouring nomes.

 Second dynasty of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Known rulers, in the History of Egypt, for the Second Dynasty.
The First and Second Dynasties of ancient Egypt are often combined under the group title, Early Dynastic Period of Egypt.
Although Manetho states the capital was at Thinis, the same as during the First Dynasty, at least the first three kings were buried at Saqqara, suggesting the center of power had moved to Memphis.

 Manetho Chapter One
The chief rivals of Thebes during the Second Intermediate Period were the Hyksos kings, a group of foreigners who successfully established political bases within Egypt, dominated much of the country for almost two centuries, and may have established total control over the entire country for at least a short period of time.
The second document says that one of the kings ruled for 7 years and the other for 10 years, while the third document says that the first king ruled for 13 years and the other ruled for 10 years.
On the other hand, the second document, setting forth a 7-year reign followed by a 10-year reign, either takes the position that the coregency began in Year 8 of the first king’s reign or the first king only reigned for 7 years, not realizing that there had been a 3-year coregency.

 The Ancient Egypt Site - 2nd Intermediary Period
The tombs of the early 14th Dynasty in the Delta contained several military objects, which could indicate that the relationship of this Lower Egyptian Dynasty with the last rulers of the 12th and the first rulers of the 13th Dynasties may have been of a military nature.
The fall of the 13th Dynasty created a power vacuum in the southern part of Upper-Egypt, which was quickly filled by two local dynasties: one in Abydos and one in Thebes, the latter's power extending from Thebes to Aswan in the South.
A change of power in the 15th Dynasty may hint at some dynastic troubles among the Hyksos, and it is possible that the Thebans took advantage of the situation not only to reclaim their autonomy but also to extend their rule as far North as Abydos.

 Abydos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Monuments of the 19th dynasty (New Kingdom), particularly of Seti I and his son Ramesses II, today are the most visible to the non-specialist visitor.
Built in the form of a royal 19th dynasty tomb, it is what we might call the "spiritual tomb" both of Seti I (who is actually buried in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes) and of Osiris (the ruler of the nether world) or, perhaps better, of Seti as Osiris.
At the heart of the structure was a cenotaph sarcophagus and canopic chest that stood on a granite "island" surrounded by ground water (as it is today), representing the primordial mound that rose from the waters of creation.

In the second book Abraham many of the manuscripts past manipulations are put to light showing that Ishmael was born after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and that Isaac was born four years later.
A comparison of the dynasties from the different versions indicates that Excerpta starts with numbering the "Spirits of the Dead" as its first dynasty and Mineus as its second dynasty, but in Afracanus' version Menes is its first dynastic founder.
This proves that the 19th dynasty of the second book and the 26th dynasty of the third book are one and the same.

His dynasty was one of China's longest and most successful — the reason why 95% of Chinese now call themselves the Han people and the written language of Chinese is known as Han writing (the word "China," an outsider's name, comes from the Ch'in).
The two Han Dynasties are really separate dynasties, but second line was related to first, and the two phases had significant cultural and social continuities.
As was the case with the Eastern Chou dynasty, the Later Han emperors also moved the capital to Loyang, an easy-to-defend area strategically placed on a tributary of the Yellow river.

He was honored by subsequent generations as the founder of a new line, the Eighteenth Dynasty, and as the initiator of a glorious chapter in Egyptian history.
This dynasty's ventures into Palestine brought about an Assyrian intervention, resulting in the rejection of the Ethiopians and the reestablishment by the Assyrians of Egyptian rulers at Sais (Sa al Hajar), about eighty kilometers southeast of Alexandria (Al Iskandariyah) on the Rosetta branch of the Nile.

The last of them, Amosis, after a war of six years, finally succeeded in driving the intruders out of Egypt, pursuing the remnant of their army as far as Sharhuna (perhaps Sharukhen, Joshua 19:6) in Southern Syria, where the last battle was fought and won by the Egyptians.
(We must refer to this period the King of Egypt mentioned in 2 Kings 17:4, as inciting Hosea of Samaria to rebel against Shalmaneser IV.) Tefnakhte's son Bochoris, however, was regarded as the founder of a new dynasty, his father, probably, having died before Orsokon.
Under the Twelfth Dynasty we have the teaching of Amenemhet I, where the old king warns his son and successor, Usertesen, against placing too much confidence in, and being too intimate with, those around him, exemplifying his teaching from his own experience (translated in "Records of the Past", II, p.

This scarab appears to be a commemorative reissue for the Middle Kingdom pharaoh Senusret (Senwosret) I, a wildly popular pharaoh whose cartouche appears on objects throughout the 2nd Intermediate Period.
The 2nd Intermediate Period stretched from the 13th to 17th dynasties (1786 to 1575 BC)of ancient Egypt.
This period was characterized by a weak series of Egyptian pharaohs who were unable to resist an influx of Palestinian settlers into the northern delta region of Egypt, likely as a result of pressure from the Hurrians and Hittites on their own homelands.

Four suggestions were made, two of which, says SCA engineer Abdel-Hamid Qutb who participated in the second committee, are useless.

The first of the former monarch showed the extraordinary feature of being surmounted by the Seth-animal instead of the usual falcon of Horus, while the second of Kha'sekhemui exhibited the Seth-animal and the Horus-falcon face to face, each wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt.
Explanations which have already been given, as well as the analogy of Queen Neit Hetepu commented upon, leave no doubt as to the meaning of this procedure, and this is born out by the name Kha'sekhemui itself and by the addition Nebuihotpimef which follows as part of the name.
The Turin Canon, which had already placed a 'Horus of the Gods' immediately after Seth, names a second Horus at the end of the divine dynasty, and apparently a third a little farther down.

One is that (thankfully), the kind of compression demanded by the revisionists just cannot be squared with the archaeological evidence; the other, however, is that there are a number of problems which could lead to the the lowering of New Kingdom dates by between a quarter and a half of a century.
A single thread of development of the so-called yellow coffin can be traced from the late-Eighteenth Dynasty down to the time of Osorkon I (early-Twenty-second Dynasty); in the reign of the latter, there is the change to the classic white mummy-cartonnage, with a wholly different set of coffin designs.
In particular, we have the probability that Psusennes II and Takelot II should be removed from the list of independent kings, leaving their traditionally attributed fifteen and twenty-five years of rule to be, potentially at least, removed from the cumulative absolute dating of the period s reigns.

The Myth of Gihanga recounts the deeds of the Second Dynasty of the Kings of the Cord, Abami b'Umushumi, while the Myth of Cyirima introduces the history of the Third Dynasty of the Kings of Mind, Abami b'Ibitekerezo.
It should be noted, although a list of kings is given under the first and second dynasties, these are not really individualised rulers, but symbolic names descriptive of the successive developmental processes of the first two great periods of Mankind's early history.
It must be stressed that even under this third dynasty, the Kings' Lists do not draw a line between mythological kings, on the one hand, and historical kings on the other.
