Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th (Thebes only) Dynasties of ancient Egypt are often combined under the group title, First Intermediate Period. The three sources which provide our knowledge on this period is exceedingly difficult to work with. Manetho''s full history does not survive intact, but is known through other writers who quoted from it. Unfortunately, the two ancient historians who quote from this section, Sextus Julius Africanus and Eusebius of Caesarea, provide inconsistent accounts of both dynasties. Africanus claims that the Seventh dynasty consisted of 70 kings that ruled during a period of seventy days in Memphis, and the Eighth consisted of 27 kings who reigned for 146 years. However, Eusebius records that during the Seventh Dynasty five kings ruled over seventy five days, and the Eighth includes five kings who ruled for 100 years.
