This article contains many flaws; for one thing the Mentuhotep kings were not part of the Intef dynasty. It was Metuhotep II who for the first time reunited Egypt under one crown and not Mentuhotep I. His supposed enemy the Heraklopitan king Merykara did not die after the battle which settled matters as to who would rule Egypt, but he died before, it was his successor who was defeated in battle by Mentuhotep II.
A good reference book is the "Oxford History Of Ancient Egypt".

- My Grimal, Breasted, Gardiner, Redford, and Shaw all seem to say that much of that is incorrect. Thanatosimii 01:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm editing the praenomen translations for the Mentuhoteps, as they did not match the hieroglyphs; the editor who put the previous translations was following the numbering scheme where the nomarch Mentuhotep I is not counted, and Mentuhotep II becomes I, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.202.192 (talk) 03:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
