[edit] Rulers
According to the Egyptologist Kim Ryholt, the 16th Dynasty was a Theban based kingdom of 15 Upper Egyptian kings rather than a Hyksos vassal dynasty. Known rulers, in the History of Egypt, for the Sixteenth Dynasty are as follows according to Ryholt.[1]:
| Name | Comments |

| Neferhotep III | — |
| Mentuhotep VI | — |
| Nebiriau I | — |
| Nebiriau II | — |
| Semenre | — |
| Seuserenre | — |

Five Theban kings names are lost at the end of the Turin Canon.
The Sixteenth Dynasty of Egypt covers a period of time when Egypt was split into a set of small Hyksos-ruled kingdoms. It is mainly Theban rulers contemporary with the Fifteenth Dynasty.
These kings are known mainly from their entries in the Turin King List, and are mostly unknown elsewhere. Dates are unknown.
