Talk:Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt

Untitled
Dodson & Hilton’s chronology (2004) is in error showing Amenehet IV’s year 9 as the full moon date 1806bc Sep 8. The record specifically says Payni 29 is the feast of lunar day 13 as in 1790bc Sep 8. Though this 1790bc feast is 3 days before the Sep 11 full moon (day 16), consider this error of 1806bc to match a full moon to Sep 8. This Sep 8 date is Payni 25 not the recorded Payni 29 which is 4 leap days later on Sep 12 being 16 years earlier 1806-1790bc.

I've been doing some work into the Middle Kingdom and I do believe that :-

1) Amenemhet III ruled from 1844BC to 1797BC 2)  so Amenemhet IV ruled 1797BC to 1787BC 3) that the 12th dynasty ended at 1783BC on the death of Nefrusobk, after which the Egyptian kingship went into decline?

So I was wondering wether anyone else can say the same, because there are a lot of differences between sources. And Im not too sure

Isn't the section on Sensuret II supposed to be on Sensuret III? Elium2 (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
