Nitocris (Netjerkare) (jan 2, 2126 BC – jan 1, 2124 BC)
Description:
EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY THROUGH ASTRONOMICALLY DATED SYNCHRONISMS by Gerard Gertoux
Nitocris (6:7). According to the Turin Canon, this reign is 2 years 1 month (Newberry, Percy: 1943, 51- 54), but 6 years according to Eratosthenes or 12 years according to Manetho (Coche-Zivie: 1972, 115- 138). As there are no archaeological remains of this famous queen the duration of 2 years and 1 month (TC) seems correct and the [1]2 years of Manetho (Africanus) come from a copyist error. This queen (Nitocris) is called Netjerkare Siptah in the Abydos King List.
