readx;? At the end of the Seventh Dynasty, the local princes had completely refused to listen to the dispatch, and even some powerful princes entered Memphis one after another, establishing the Eighth Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Eighth Dynasty lasted much longer, and was established after the local princes became stronger, seized central power, and ousted the close relatives of Pepi II from power. Overall, the situation remains volatile.

Table of the Kings of the Eighth Dynasty of Egypt:

Nefir Kaula II, reigned 4 years and 2 months, 2137-2133 BC.

In 2137 BC, Nefir Kaullah II ousted Chakara Ibi from power and became the pharaoh of Egypt, known in history as the Eighth Dynasty of Egypt.

Nefil Kauhor, reigned: 2 years, 1 month, 1 day, 2133-2131 BC.

Nephil Kauhor was a viceroy of Upper Egypt.

In 2133 BC, he led his troops into Memphis, ousted Nefil Kaula II from power, and became the pharaoh of Egypt.

Neferiel Cara, reigned: 1 1/2 years, 2131-2129 BC.

In 2131 BC, Neferiel Cala may also have been a foreign prince who came to Monfes, becoming the last ruler of the First Intermediate Period to establish the capital in Memphis.

His ascension to the throne was followed by a massive famine and chaos that swept through Egypt, and in the midst of the turmoil, Memphis was conquered by Meribra Kati I-i, the first king of the vassal states of Horacliópolis, which no longer had Memphis as its capital, but its own homeland of Horacliópolis, known as the Ninth Dynasty of Egypt. Although the situation was turbulent before, the position of the capital of Memphis remained unchanged, which means that the central power remained unchanged, and the local princes only sought independence. However, the establishment of the Ninth Dynasty was the real override of the local power over the central power, and it can be said that it really opened the era of hegemony between the states in the first intermediate period of Egypt.

The Eighth Dynasty experienced a total of 3 kings and 8 years.

During the chaotic reign of the Seventh and Eighth Dynasties, the provinces (Nome) were divided by petty warlords. In the city of Horacliopolis emerged the family of Kati (Aktoi), probably the Normaz who ruled the city for generations.

In 2129 BC, the leader of the Kati family, Vakara Kati, conquered Memphis, unified Lower Egypt, and established the Ninth Dynasty of Egypt.

The Ninth Dynasty was founded in Horacleopolis-Magna, also known as the Horacleopolis Dynasty, also known as the "House" because many rulers had their names in it, but due to the frequent change of rulers, it was considered extremely unstable in political rule. It existed at about the same time as the Tenth Dynasty. During this period, Egypt was not united, and there were some overlapping periods between the two dynasties. The King of Turin lists eighteen kings from the Ninth and Tenth Dynasties, but their names are unrecognizable. Then, according to the available information, the Tenth Dynasty had about five kings, then the Ninth Dynasty should have thirteen kings.

The dynasty of Horacleopolis drove the Asians out of the Nile Delta and the eastern border fortresses of Egypt. They improved irrigation projects and reopened trade with Byblos.

Pharaoh Table:

The Ninth Dynasty went through 13 kings and 54 years. On average, there is a change of king every four years.

Vakara Kati I-I, reigned 2129-2110 BC.

During his reign, the local princes basically submitted to him.

Merekalla I, reigned 2110-2100 BC.

In 2110 BC, Merekla I succeeded Vakara Kati I as pharaoh of Lower Egypt.

Nefilkara III, reigned 2100-2090 BC.

In 2100 BC, Nefilkara III succeeded Merekalla I as pharaoh of Lower Egypt.

There may be 9 kings in the middle, with an average of 10 years of change every year.

Vakara Kati II-II, reigned 2080-2075 BC.

Vakara-Kati II was the 13th Nome Nome of Lower Egypt and was the king of the Ninth Dynasty. He was once a minister of Merekalla I.

During the reign of Vakara-Kati II, a war of annexation was actively waged against Central and Upper Egypt in an attempt to defeat the Thebes dynasty (Eleventh Dynasty), which ruled Upper Egypt, when most of Egypt's territory was conquered by the Ninth Dynasty, and inscriptions with the name of Wakara were found even far away near the First Waterfall in the south. It shows that his martial arts at that time may have the strength to unify Egypt, but at this critical juncture, the royal family had civil strife.

According to Manneto, the people of Lower Egypt hated him so much that legend has it that he eventually went mad and was eaten by crocodiles.

This is another false account, how can a king be eaten by a crocodile under heavy protection?

It is easy to speculate on the actual situation: it was not that the people of Lower Egypt hated him immensely, but that it may have taken some measures to limit the power of the nobility in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, which was the reason for the strength of Lower Egypt, but also the cause of its demise. Vakara-Kati II strengthened the centralization of power, allowing the Ninth Dynasty to completely override the vassal states and even the Eleventh Dynasty.

On this basis, it launched a series of wars of conquest, occupied almost all of Egypt, and at the critical moment when it was about to attack Thebes, the capital of Upper Egypt, the long-suppressed princes and nobles staged a coup d'état, killed Vaqara-Kati II, and established the Tenth Dynasty of Egypt, still with Horaclepolis as the capital, but the time for unification was gone, and the situation of Lower Egypt was at a disadvantage compared to Upper Egypt, until it was finally annexed by the Eleventh Dynasty of Upper Egypt.

The Ninth Dynasty of Egypt had a total of 13 kings and 54 years.
