General Notes
This leader in the region around Thebes is in many modern list named as king Mentuhotep I, which is questionable. No evidence tell that he claimed to be a pharaoh. His son and follower (below) called himself "King over the Two Lands" and must therefore be considered the real founder of the dynasty. The Royal Canon of Turin has for this dynasty a row (first of six) where the name is lacking. By the total years given the reign is estimated to c. seven years.
