The
existence of this dynasty is questioned by a lot of scholars.
Manetho, to stress the extreme anarchy, described that time as a period
of 70 rulers reigning 70 days. However, a fact of distinguishing 30
dynasties in ancient Egyptian chronology, artificial in a sense, requires to
be preserved. Thus omitting the Dynasty VII, as well as combining it with
the Dynasty VIII, as it is a case in numerous registers, would be a mistake,
especially that names of the then rulers, usually written in royal
cartouches, are well known to us.
