These lists fall broadly in two categories: those assuming that the 16th Dynasty comprised vassals of the Hyksos, as advocated by Jürgen von Beckerath and Wolfgang Helck; and those assuming that the 16th Dynasty was an independent Theban kingdom, as recently proposed by Kim Ryholt. In his 1997 study of the Second Intermediate Period, the Danish Egyptologist Kim Ryholt argues that the 16th Dynasty was an independent Theban kingdom. ^ Kings of the Second Intermediate Period 16th dynasty (after Ryholt 1997) Bourriau, Janine (2003) [2000], "The Second Intermediate Period", in Shaw, Ian (ed.), The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt, Oxford: Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-280458-8 Dynasties of ancient Egypt ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5256.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5256.txt
