The funerary art of this period is well illustrated by the stelae and “false doors” of: =Sennu= (Bay 1, No. =81=), =Ptaḥ-ḥetep=, a priest (No. =82=), =Erṭā-en-ānkh=, a royal kinsman and councillor (No. =83=), =Uthenȧa=, whose “good name” was Penȧ (a very interesting relief, No. =84=), =Ȧṭu=, a scribe and superintendent of the “Great House of the Six” (No. =85=), =Behenu=, a priestess of Hathor (No. =88=), and a portion of a slab from the =roof= of =a tomb=, with flutings, which are probably intended to represent tree trunks (No. =90=). All these, with the exception of No. 81, are in the Egyptian Vestibule. To this period also probably belong the =libation tanks=, and =tablet for offerings= of =Ȧntḳes=, =Khart-en-Khennu=, and =Senb= (Bay 14, Nos. =93-95=). Besides the larger remains of this period, the =scarabs= in the Table-cases in the Fourth Egyptian Room should be examined. Several of them are inscribed with names of the kings of the first six dynasties, but it is not certain how many, or if any, of such scarabs are contemporaneous, and for this reason they have not been described in the preceding paragraphs. On the other hand, of the fine collection of =scarabs of officials=, inscribed with their titles, scores certainly belong to the period of the first half of the Ancient Empire, and are of the greatest interest and historical value. The monuments prove that between the IVth and VIth dynasties the Egyptians lived in a state of serfdom, and that they regarded their king as the owner of both their souls and bodies. He was the very essence of God in human form upon earth, and his power was absolute; even in the Other World his authority was held to be equal to that of the great gods of the dead. The Pharaohs of this period were masters of the Peninsula of Sinai, and of the Eastern Desert between Egypt and the Red Sea; and the memory of the raid which Seneferu made in the Sûdân probably induced the warlike tribes of that country to permit Egyptian caravans to pass from Syene to the Blue and White Niles unmolested. At the close of the VIth dynasty a period of general disorder appears to have set in, the chiefs of cities such as Suten-ḥenen (Herakleopolis), Asyûṭ and Thebes contending among themselves for supremacy. Of the history of this period nothing is known. According to Manetho (version of Africanus) we have:— Seventh Dynasty. From Memphis. Seventy kings in seventy days. Eighth Dynasty. From Memphis. Twenty-seven kings in 146 years. The Tablet of Abydos supplies after Neter-ka-Rā, the name of the last king of the VIth dynasty, the following sixteen names, which represent, presumably, the kings of the VIIIth dynasty:—
