Khui may have belonged to the Eighth Dynasty of Egypt, as Jürgen von Beckerath has proposed,[2] or he may instead have been a provincial nomarch who proclaimed himself king. Pharaoh or nomarch[edit] Based on the cartouche surrounding Khui's name on the relief from Dara, Egyptologists including Jürgen von Beckerath have proposed that he was a king of the early First Intermediate Period, belonging to the Eighth Dynasty. On the other hand, Egyptologists Barry Kemp and Toby Wilkinson believe it more likely that Khui was a nomarch, that is a provincial governor, who took advantage of the power vacuum following the collapse of the Old Kingdom and proclaimed himself king, in the same way as the coeval and neighboring Heracleopolite founders of the 9th Dynasty.[5][6] Neferkare III Neby Intef III Mentuhotep III Amenemhat III Sobekhotep III Ptolemy III Euergetes ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5049.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5049.txt
