Turin Canon King List

The Turin king list, from a series of papyrus fragments, lists most of the kings from the first dynasty through the second intermediate period. Many of the names are unfamiliar -- we're used to seeing the "Throne Name" of the king and the entries here are often personal names or epithets.

While the earlier dynasties are clearer from this list, I had a harder time linking this list into my pharaoh pages, and I'm sure i've messed up some of the names. Let me know!

The Roman numerals and reference numbers in the Turin Canon refer to the section and column in the papyrus, they do not refer to dynasties or kingdoms. The concept of dynasties and kingdoms is based on the writings of Manetho, and are purely for academic purposes -- the Egyptians themselves saw no such divisions.

The Kings listed from Turin includes:
