A Summary of « the Chronology of Ancient Egypt »
             The Mesopotamia and the Ancient Egypt were two provinces where archeology and history were very important. Scientists tried to discover and learn more about these lost civilizations but even the radiocarbon techniques cant improve their research.
             According to K. A. Kitchen, today the Egyptian civilization is well known by its series of Pharaohs and Kings that reigned the whole Kingdom during more than thirty dynasties. These dynasties started approximately a thousand years before the reign of Manetho. In the ninetieth century, scientists tried to divide these dynasties in seven periods. Like K. A. Kitchen said, there are resources in archeology that allow a best comprehension of the second millennium BC.
             Because of the Ancient Egyptian translation to Greek, there are may data that are uncertain. It's impossible to have the perfect translation because more than 20% of the original text is lost during this translation (K.A. Kitchen)
             Archeologists found five lists of kings. They found a list of the antecedent kings that reigned the great temple of Amun before Tuthmosis III, at Karnak. They only found the name of kings without dates. Two other lists of kings date from the time of Ramesses II and Sethos I, and have been found in the temple of Abydos. ( K.A. Kitchen ) Two list of seventy Pharaohs, from the founder to the last one. Another list like the previous one was in the tomb of Tunuroy. These lists of kings came from the Archaic period, the Old, the Middle and the New kingdom. The last document found was the only one that gave an uncompleted list of the Pharaohs but with their dates. But this stone has been broke 160 years ago. But all the information that scientists have is fragments and they will never be perfectly sure of their theories because there are many way of interpreting the history of archaic period with fragments.
