The dynasty
was a continuation of the Theban Dynasty XIII and likewise was paying tribute to
the Hyksos that held rule in Delta and central Egypt. The earlier rulers of the
Dynasty made no apparent attempt to challange the authority of the Hyksos, and
an uneasy truce existed between the two lineages for some time. Some of
the kings of the XVIIth Dynasty were known as Intef, and their large
and heavy coffins with vulture-wing feathered decoration have been found at
Thebes in the area of the Dra Abu el-Naga. Last rulers of this Dynasty,
Seqenenre Tao II and his two sons - Kamose and
Ahmose, overthrew the Hyksos invader and restored Egyptian independence. |

Short reign of this ruler and a minor role of regent in part of Tebaida are confirmed by a few artifacts: two sphinxes of Edfu, stele of Karnak and some scarabs. His wife was presumably Satmut and his son was Herunefer. Ryholt assigned him to the XVI Dynasty. |

|
The ruler to whom Turin Canon assigns 19 years of rule. To times of Nibiraw is dated famous stela discovered at Karnak in 1927 and containing treaty of giving an office of mayor of El-Kab by Sebeknakht and his descendants. Other known artifacts include scarabs with the king’s name and dagger found in a tomb by Dispolis Parva. Ryholt assigned him to the XVI Dynasty. |

|
|
|
ra-nb-iri-Awt Nibirawre (Lord Of All, Re) |
|
Turin Canon gives to this ruler a short period of rule, no longer than 5 month. It has been suggested that double mentioning of a name in Turin Canon is accidental and thus there would have been only one king Nibiraw. In A.Leahy opinion a sarcophagus of Osiris, ascribed to king Nibiraw II and discovered in tomb of Djer at Abydos and seal of Uronarti Island in Nubia, belonged to king Khendjer of dynasty XIII. |

The ruler identified with Beb-Anch, traditionally ascribed to the dynasty XVII. A part of stela found in 1984 near galena mine at Gebel Zait at the Red Sea gives evidence of both these names. Suserenre left after him traces of building activities at Medamud – extension of a temple. |

tA-aAaA Tao ([Thot] Is The Great) |
|
Husband of queen Tetisheri, father of Seqenenre Tao II. Proofs of this ruler’s existence are found in inscriptions on royal table of Karnak and in tomb of Khabekhnet (TT2) in Deir el-Medina, as well as in Ken’ votive table of Thebes. It is thought that Snakhtenre gave rise to new dynasty of Dendera that had nothing to do with Antefs and Sebeknemsafs. C. Vanderlsleyen suggested that the name tA-aAaA Taa (Tao) never belonged to Snachtenre. |

of Snakhtenre

numerous royal or private items found all over Theban area. Papyrus
Sallier
I describes conflict of Theban ruler with Hyksos king Apopi. He died
in battle with Hyksossos as can be deduced from disheveled state of
his mummy found in DB320 cache at
Deir el-Bahari. Burial place – tomb at Dra Abu el-Naga. |
