The Thirteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (notated Dynasty XIII) was a series of rulers from approximately 1803 BC until approximately 1649 BC, i.e. for 154 years. [1] It is often classified as the final dynasty of the Middle Kingdom (which includes Dynasties XI, XII and XIV), but some historians instead group it in the Second Intermediate Period (with Dynasties XIV through XVII).
One of the best attested rulers of the 13th Dynasty, Neferhotep I reigned for 11 years according to the Turin King List.

At the Dra Abu el-Naga (Thebes), the Shaft Tomb of Ankhu was found at a family necropolis with 30 shaft tombs dating to the early Thirteenth Dynasty.

In the latter cases, only an approximate time frame will be given. For example, the Deva dynasty is believed to have ruled during the 12th and 13th centuries AD, but the exact dates are disputed. The year of establishment and/or the year of collapse of a dynasty could differ from its period of rule over a particular realm and/or geographic region.
