Unas (jan 2, 2286 BC – jan 1, 2256 BC)
Description:
EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY THROUGH ASTRONOMICALLY DATED SYNCHRONISMS by Gerard GertouxUnas (5:9). The duration of 30 years (TC) is confirmed by that obtained by radiocarbon dating (27 years). In favour of such a long reign are scenes of a Sed festival found in Unas' mortuary temple. However, several Egyptologists suspect a reign of less than 30 years for Unas, owing to the scarcity of artefacts datable to his reign as well as the lack of documents dated to beyond his 8th census (= Year 14) on the throne (Verner: 2001, 411-412).
