Notes

Note (1): Pepi II Neferkare's length of reign is questionable; some Egyptologists favour a shorter reign length of 64 years given the absence of attested dates known for Pepi after his 31st Count. This figure would place him at equal 8th on the list.

Note (2): The "Length of Reign" figure for current monarchs is correct as of 4 June 2007, rounded down. Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era in the 21st century. ...
