Introduction to the Timeline of Egyptian Pharaohs

In the 3rd century B.C., an Egyptian priest named Manetho listed 30 royal dynastic houses of ancient Egypt. Manetho's work is gone, but a summary (epitome) of it survives, taken from versions of Manetho's chronology that were written in the 3rd-8th centuries A.D. Unfortunately, there are gaps in the chronology and the lengths of many of the pharaohs' reigns are unknown. For the pharaohs of the 2nd millennium B.C. forward, other techniques and artifacts help date the pharaohs; the techniques are more limited for the earlier pharaohs, so their dates are more speculative.
