Sleepwalker Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Right- an introduction I think... firstly, I am not an Aegyptus Astartes member, I am just a guy interested in both marines and Egyptians ^_^ However, I recently found a book whilst doing my history essay at Uni that has all the rulers of Egypt listed in it. I don't know if any of you already have such a list or if you don't need it but I thought that it might make a nice list of names that you can use for characters in your armies etc. Anyway- here you go (this is long!) B) 1st dynasty, 3,200- 2,980 BC: Men/ Menes/ Nar-Mer/ Narmerza Ahai 2nd dynasty, 2,980- 2,780 BC: Djer Den- Semti Udimu Peribsen 3rd dynasty, 2,780- 2,680 BC Zoser Sekhemkhet Khaba 4th dynasty, 2,680- 2,565 BC: Snefru Khufu Khafre Menkaure Dedefre Nebka Shepseskaf 5th dynasty, 2,565- 2,420 BC: Werserkaf/ Userkaf Sahure Neferirkare Neferefre Niuserre Isesi Unas 6th dynasty, 2,420- 2,258 BC: Teti Pepi I Merenre Pepi II (who apparently reigned for 94 years! :o ) 7th- 10th dynasties, 2,258- 2,040 BC: Khety I Khety II Ibi Merikare Mentuhotep I 11th dynasty, 2,040-1,991 BC: Mentuhotep I Mentuhotep II 12th dynasty, 1,991- 1,786 BC: Amenemhet I Senusret I/ Sesostris I Amenemhet II Senusret II/ Sesostris II Senusret III/ Sesostris III Amenemhet III Amenemhet IV Queen Sebekneferuna (thats a woman guys- would not suggest using for marines :) ) 13th- 16th dynasties, 1,786- 1,600 BC: Khendjer Salitis Khyan Apopi I Sekenenre II 17th dynasty, 1,600- 1,570 BC: Kamose 18th dynasty, 1,570- 1,342 BC: Ahmose I Thutmose I Thutmose II Queen Hatsheput Thutmose III Amenhotep II/ Amenophis II Thutmose IV Amenhotep III/ Amenophis III Amenhotep IV/ Amenophis IV/ Ikhnaten Tutankhamen (yeah- it's that dude we all read about in primary school!) Horemheb 19th dynasty, 1,342- 1197 BC: Ramesses I Seti I Ramesses II Seti II Merenptah 20th dynasty, 1197- 1085 BC: Setnakht Ramesses III Ramesses IV Ramesses V Ramesses VI Ramesses VII Ramesses VIII Ramesses IX Ramesses X Ramesses XI (Inventive names for their kids eh...) 21st dynasty, 1085- 950 BC: Smendes/ Nesubanebdet Herithor 22nd dynasty, 950- 730 BC: Sheshonk I/ Shishak I Osorkon I 23rd dynasty, 817- 730 BC: Pedibast 24th dynasty, 730- 715 BC: Tefnakht Bakenrenef/ Bocchoris 25th dynasty, 715- 656 BC: Shabaka Taharka 26th dynasty, 663- 525 BC: Psamtek I/ Psammetichus Necho Psamtek II Apries/ Hophra Ahmose II Psamtek III 27th dynasty, 525- 404 BC: Cambyses Darius I Xerxes 28th dynasty, 404- 398 BC: Amyrtaeus 29th dynasty, 398- 378 BC: Nefeuret I Achoris Nefeuret II 30th dynasty, 378- 341 BC: Nectanebo Tachos/ Teos Nectharheb 31st dynasty, 341- 332 BC: Darius III Phew! ^_^ That was a mission! I also have names from Alexandrian conquest, Ptolemaic Period, Roman Period, Babylon, Kassite dynasty and many more. If you want names from a specific time then just PM me! I also have names from Ancient Rome (Marcus Aurelius :D ), all the popes and many many more for all of you readers who don't have an aegyptus army. oh- disclaimer: all text above from: R. Castleden, World History (London, 1994) just in case he reads this and sees me plagiarise his work. :lol: It's a good book if you ever see it around- very useful for names! Hope that helps a bit guys and girls. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks a lot for that i've been looking for some egyptian names for my ptolemaic chapter and i've been using far too many greek names ^_^ . I may have to take you up on the names for the Ptolemies although the majority of them were just simply named after Ptolemy the Savour but with nicknames at the end I think :) Pope names are cool too although a bit hipocritical ie. Pope innocent :P So thanks for that sleepwalker :tu: Also for those looking for names to try and bring your roman chapters into a more gothic scene I suggest looking at the late imperial and Byzantine Period as they have some lovely names ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
