31: Seven Empty Years (The Weird Gap in Egyptian Royal Annals)
from The History of Egypt Podcast · host Dominic Perry
Montuhotep IV: A Forgotten King. At the end of Dynasty 11, there is a "gap" in the royal king list. The Turin Canon records the seven years of Montuhotep IV as a time when "no king reigned." On top of this, no royal images or records survive from his reign. Who is this man, and why is he lost?... Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.
