For these authors, this marks the end of the Middle Kingdom and the beginning of the Second Intermediate Period.[18] This analysis is rejected by Ryholt and Baker however, who note that the stele of Seheqenre Sankhptahi, reigning toward the very end of the 13th Dynasty, strongly suggests that he reigned over Memphis.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6885.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6885.txt
