Under the rule of these kings the princes of Herakleopolis succeeded in
gaining their independence, and thus the seat of the government of Egypt
was removed from Memphis up the river to Suten-ḥenen, the modern Ahnâs,
about 60 miles south of Cairo.
Ninth Dynasty.
Nineteen kings in 409 years.
Tenth Dynasty.
Nineteen kings in 185 years.
The Turin Papyrus contains a series of fragmentary names, which may
represent those of the kings of one or the other of these dynasties; the
fourth of these is =Khati=, whose name is also found on a rock in the
First Cataract, and on a bronze bowl in the Museum of the Louvre in Paris.
Among the kings of the =Tenth Dynasty= may be placed king =Ka-meri-Rā= in
whose reign lived =Khati=, prince of Siut, or Asyûṭ. About this time war
appears to have been going on between the princes of Herakleopolis and
the princes of Thebes, and the prince of Siut sent troops to support the
Herakleopolitans against the Thebans. For a time the Thebans were beaten,
but at length they gained the mastery over the princes of the North, and
founded a new dynasty.
Of the period represented by dynasties VII-X there are no monuments in
the British Museum, with perhaps the exception of a few scarabs.
Eleventh Dynasty. From Thebes.
_About_ B.C. 2600.
