		The Old kingdom (3100-2181 BCE, 1st-6th Dynasties) The beginning of Egypt's dynastic history is marked by the unification of the two kingdoms of pre dynastic Egypt: the northern kingdom, whose Kings wore the red crown, and the southern kingdom, whose Kings wore the white crown.

	Manetho's 12th Dynasty and the Standard Chronology
		In this paper I will argue that Manetho’s Twelfth Dynasty chronology derived from accurate Egyptian chronological records and that his original uncorrupted account of this dynasty coincided precisely with the standard chronology, suggesting that the standard chronology is the accurate chronology for the Twelfth Dynasty.
		He gives the Twelfth Dynasty a length of reign of 160 years, which is the sum for the seven kings directly listed in his Twelfth Dynasty roster but which omits the 16 years assigned to Ammenemes, the first king, who was placed in between the Eleventh and Twelfth Dynasties.
		We must conclude that Manetho built his Twelfth Dynasty on the basis of Egyptian records that provided the same chronological information that forms the basis of the standard chronology, and that the standard chronology is the correct chronology for the Twelfth Dynasty.

		The founder of the IXth dynasty was perhaps Khîti I., Miribrî, the Akhthoës of the Greeks.
