The Sixteenth Dynasty (Dynasty XVI)
Dates: 1649-1580 BCE. – Capital: Thebes
The Sixteenth Dynasty only ruled over Upper Egypt. According to Africanus, 32 Grecian shepherds ruled for 518 years, while Eusebius writes that five kings of Thebes ruled for 190 years. The true number was probably only around 50 years. The dynasty was destroyed in the war against the Hyksos of the Fifteenth Dynasty, when Thebes was conquered.
