Chronological list of 340 pharaohs

This list contains, in chronological order, the main events in the reign of 340 pharaohs who ruled the Nile valley from prehistoric times until Alexander the Great's conquest of the country. Some, born in troubled times, are little more than names on lists, but others, more illustrious, occupy several pages. Scholars wishing to learn more about the often-challenging history of this fascinating civilisation, which lasted for more than 3,000 years, will read this work like a history book.
