The Egyptian historian Manetho credited him with inventing the method of a stone-dressed building during Djoser's reign, though he was not the first to actually build with stone.

The Egyptian historian Manetho credited him with inventing stone-dressed building during Djoser's reign, though he was not the first to actually build with stone.

Some of the first historical accounts of Egypt were given by Herodotus, Strabo, Diodorus Siculus and the largely lost work of Manetho, an Egyptian priest, during the reign of Ptolemy I and Ptolemy II in the 3rd century BC.

The Egyptian historian Manetho referred to Memphis as Hut-ka-Ptah ( meaning " Enclosure of the ka of Ptah "), which he approximated in Greek as Aί γυ πτoς ( Ai-gy-ptos ), from which derives the Latin AEGYPTVS and the modern English name of Egypt.

One of the experts was one of the Eumolpidae, the ancient family from whose members the hierophant of the Eleusinian Mysteries had been chosen since before history, and the other was the scholarly Egyptian priest Manetho, which gave weight to the judgement both for the Egyptians and the Greeks.

In his Against Apion, the 1st-century CE historian Josephus Flavius debates the synchronism between the Biblical account of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, and two Exodus-like events that the Egyptian historian Manetho apparently mentions.

In Egyptian Hyksos means " ruler ( s ) of foreign countries ", however, Manetho mistranslated Hyksos as " Shepherd Kings ".

One fragment from Manetho also dates the reign of the first Egyptian God ( Ptah ) 36, 525 years before Menes ( FGrH, # 610 F2 ) and so dates the creation to about 39, 575 BC.

Velikovsky argued that the conventional chronology of the Near East and classical world, based upon Egyptian Sothic dating and the king lists of Manetho, was wholly flawed.

The ancient Egyptian historian Manetho called Khufu " Sûphis " and credited him with a rulership of 63 years.

Menkaure ( also read as Menkaura ), was an ancient Egyptian king ( pharaoh ) of the 4th dynasty during the Old Kingdom, who is well known under his Hellenized names Mykerinos ( by Herodot ) and Menkheres ( by Manetho ).

The ancient Egyptian historian Manetho called Khaefra “ Sûphis II .” and credited him with a rulership of 66 years, but didn ´ t make any further, interesting comments about him.

The commonly used Menes derives from Manetho, an Egyptian historian and priest who lived during the Ptolemaic period.

Egyptologist Donald B. Redford has suggested that these were ancestors of the Hyksos dynasty, later misconstrued as belonging to the names of Egyptian kings in Manetho ( due to confusion between the Egyptian words for " Hyksos " and " Xois ").

There are some doubts that he could have reigned as long as 94 years ( some scholars such as Von Beckerath believe this to be a misreading of long-lost original texts by early historians such as Manetho, and ascribe a seemingly more realistic figure of 64 years, which seems more feasible if he was succeeded by his son as Egyptian tradition states, rather than a grandson ).

The Egyptian priest Manetho assigns him a reign of 16 months, but this pharaoh certainly ruled Egypt for a minimum of 17 months based on his highest known date which is a Year 2 II Peret day 20 ( Louvre C57 ) stela which ordered the provision of new endowments of food and priests for the temple of Ptah within the Egyptian fortress of Buhen.

The Egyptian historian Manetho claimed that Thoth wrote 36, 525 books.

" Manetho, an Egyptian historian, wrote that the Jews were expelled Egyptian lepers who had been taught by Moses " not to adore the gods.

The outlines of the traditional account of the " invasion " of the land by the Hyksos is preserved in the Aegyptiaca of Manetho, an Egyptian priest who wrote in the time of Ptolemy II Philadelphus.

Manetho (; ) was an Egyptian historian and priest from Sebennytos ( ancient Egyptian: Tjebnutjer ) who lived during the Ptolemaic era, approximately during the 3rd century BC.

Manetho for instance in a distorted account reported in Josephus, states that Moses was originally Osarseph a renegade priest, who led a band of lepers out of Avaris ( referred to as Raamses in the Bible ).

Manetho, a historian and priest from the Ptolemaic era, describes 70 kings who ruled for 70 days.

While the Egyptian priest Manetho, writing in the third century BC, stated that Djer ruled for 57 years, modern research by Toby Wilkinson in Royal Annals of Ancient Egypt stresses that the near-contemporary and therefore, more accurate Palermo Stone ascribes Djer a reign of " 41 complete and partial years.

In the second story Manetho tells how 80, 000 lepers and other " impure people ," led by a priest named Osarseph, join forces with the former Hyksos, now living in Jerusalem, to take over Egypt.

The story depicts Osarseph as a renegade Egyptian priest who leads an army of lepers and other unclean people against a pharaoh named Amenophis ; the pharaoh is driven out of the country and the leper-army, in alliance with the Hyksos ( whose story is also told by Manetho ) ravage Egypt, committing many sacrileges against the gods, before Amenophis returns and expels them.

According to Josephus, Manetho described Osarseph as a tyrannical high priest of Osiris at Heliopolis.

It is possible that memories of these events were distortedly reported in the third century BCE by the Hellenistic Egyptian historian and priest, Manetho, who claimed that a certain Egyptian priest from Heliopolis called Osarseph, led leprous Asiatics out of Egypt, in an Exodus later reportedly that of Moses.

He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters, and likely the 18th dynasty king Rathotis who, according to Manetho, an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years — a figure that conforms with Flavius Josephus's version of Manetho's Epitome.

Today Egyptologists generally agree that Hatshepsut assumed the position of pharaoh and the length of her reign usually is given as twenty-two years, since she was assigned a reign of twenty-one years and nine months by the third-century BCE historian, Manetho, who had access to many historical records that now are lost.

The name of this temple, rendered in Greek as Aί γυ πτoς ( Ai-gy-ptos ) by the historian Manetho, is believed to be the etymological origin of the modern English name Egypt.

The Royal canon of Turin gives 23 years of rulership, the ancient historian Herodot gives 50 years and the ancient historian Manetho even credits him 63 years of reign.

The ancient historian Manetho credits him with a rulership of 63 years, but this is surely an exaggeration.

According to the ancient historian Manetho Khafra was followed by king Bikheris, but according to archaeological evidences he was rather followed by king Menkaure.

: In the kinglist summaries from the third century BC historian Manetho, this is a group of 70 kings ruling 70 days: there is no evidence for this-it may be a later literary metaphor for chaos at the end of the Sixth Dynasty, chaos for which there is also no direct contemporary evidence.

The ancient historian Manetho may have used the complete stela to construct his chronology of the dynasties of Egypt, written in the third century BC.

His chronological position is highly unsure and it ´ s also unclear, under which Hellenized name the ancient historian Manetho could have listed him.

The Turin Canon suggests an improbable reign of 96 years and the ancient Greek historian Manetho suggested that Nynetjer's reign lasted 47 years.

The ancient Greek historian Manetho called Nynetjer Binôthrís and said that during this ruler's reign " women received the right to gain royal dignity ", meaning that women were allowed to reign like a king.

The outlines of the traditional account of the " invasion " of the land by the Hyksos is preserved in the Aegyptiaca of Manetho, who records that during this time the Hyksos overran Egypt, led by Salitis, the founder of the Fifteenth Dynasty.

It must be stressed that the Turin Canon and Manetho were more than one and two thousand years removed from the time of Egypt's third dynasty, and would be expected to contain some inaccurate or unreliable data.

* Manetho, wrote History of Egypt

Manetho wrote the Aegyptiaca ( History of Egypt ).

It is speculated that Manetho wrote at the request of Ptolemy I or II to give an account of the history of Egypt to the Greeks from a native's perspective.

Although Manetho wrote in the 3rd century BC – over two millennia after the king's actual reign – some Egyptologists think it possible that this anecdote may have been based on fact, since the region near Bubastis is known to be seismically active.
