Resum

In his Aigyptiaka, Manetho organises the history of Egypt on the basis of the concept of ‘dynasty’—as a definite and closed sequence of kings—and isolates thirty dynasties. Traces of this chronographical arrangement can be found in earlier Egyptian sources, so it is not an invention of Greco-Roman times, but a feature of the Pharaonic conception of time and past. But at what time in Egyptian history did the notion of ‘dynasty’ take shape? Did it already exist from the very beginning of the Dynastic Period? In this contribution we discuss this issue and the evidence which seems to confirm that the boundaries between the first three dynasties were already established contemporarily by the creators of the Egyptian chronography.
