At this time Egypt was not unified, and there is some overlap between these and other local dynasties. The Turin Canon lists eighteen kings for this royal line, but their names are damaged, unidentifiable, or lost.[2] The following is a possible list of rulers of the Tenth Dynasty based on the Turin Canon, as Egyptologists have differing opinions about the order of succession within the two dynasties. Among them, only Wahkare Khety and Merykare are undoubtedly attested by archaeological finds: Tenth Dynasty (according to Hayes) (c. 2130 – 2040 BC)[3] Name Image Comments Meryhathor(?) Existence doubtful, known from a damaged graffito at Hatnub Neferkare VIII Might be the Kaneferre mentioned in the tomb of the nomarch Ankhtifi Wahkare Khety III Possibly the purported author of the Teaching for King Merykare Merykare Main opponent of the Theban pharaoh Mentuhotep II [name lost] An ephemeral ("x months") successor of Merykare Wikimedia Commons has media related to 10th dynasty of Egypt.
