THE EGYPTIAN HISTORY PODCAST


Episode XXV: A Fire in the South


A Kingdom Divided Against Itself.


The House of Khety, ruling the North, now faces a challenger. Emerging at Thebes,

the House of Intef has emerged as a new confederation. Their emergence comes at
the expense of Ankhtyfy, a local prince who attempted to create his own 
autonomous principality. In the North, the Instructions of Merykare present
a political manifesto for the kings of the House of Khety.
