Egyptian Fourth Dynasty Family Tree

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fourth Dynasty succession is unclear. Manetho adds several rulers that are not otherwise attested, either in other king lists, or from the archaeological record. However, there does seem to be continuity between the Third Dynasty and the Fifth Dynasty, showing that the power of the pharaoh remained narrowly confined within the same family.
