Egypt - Pharaohs of the Old Kingdom - 2655

Egypt - Pharaohs of the Old Kingdom - 2655 - 2176 BCE

by Günther Eichhorn

A lot of the information on this page is from The Ancient Egypt Site (AES below), the site Ancient Egypt (AE below), and from Wikipedia. These sites have a lot of information and consistent time lines, although they differ. The hieroglyphic names are from both the AES and AE website. The times are all from the AE website.

Following is the list of Egyptian Pharaohs as well as I could determine it:
