The aggregate length of Dynasty XIII as indicated by Manetho

history channel documentary The aggregate length of Dynasty XIII as indicated by Manetho was 453 years under 60 rulers. Be that as it may, the rendition of Barbarus gives a point of interest missing from Manetho: The court was at Thebes, as well as at Bubastis in the Delta for a long time (Alfred Schoene, Eusebius, page 214). "The General" is recorded in the Turin Canon list of rulers of the XIII line as eighteenth with the honored position name of "Semenkhkare" (Gardiner, Egypt of the Pharoahs, page 440) and (Weigall, History of the Pharaohs, pages 136, 151-152). The Egyptian word for "General" was "Mermeshoi". This title as the individual name of a leader of Egypt does not show up again in all dynastic history. Two extensive stone statues of "Mermeshoi" have been found in amazing condition in the Delta at Tanis.

Since no one but rulers could have preeminent order of the armed force in antiquated Egypt, when Moses was made General he acquired illustrious power. The seventeenth ruler of Dynasty XIII, Userkare Khendjer, ruled over the Delta and Upper Egypt. No relative of his is known not succeeded to the position of authority. This is the ruler whose little girl is specified in Exodus 2:10 (The Bible). Inside a couple of years the impact of this line (which was contemporary however backup to Dynasty VI) in the eastern Delta stopped. The lords of this period frequently have their names connected with ruler Neferkare (PepiII, long ruling Pharaoh of Dynasty VI of Memphis) on regal seals. This is confirmation that these leaders of Dynasty XIII were contemporary with the last awesome Pharaoh of Dynasty VI of Memphis, Pepi II. Several such seals have been found, however they are by and large treated with watchful quiet in light of the fact that the suggestion would upset the historical backdrop of Egypt! (William C. Hayes, The Scepter of Egypt, Volume I, page 342). The pyramid of the Pharaoh of Dynasty XIII (Userkare Khendjer) was found in North Saqqara (Egypt) arranged between the pyramids of Pepi II (Dynasty VI) and Sensuret III (Dynasty XII).
