Note: The data of the above sources
related to the Pharaohs' post-mortem star realms,
(which may have had some actual relation to the length of human rule).
The lengths of "reign" given by contradictory ancient sources
differ according to which stars were used for calculations.

The most complete is the data of Julius Africanus
(using Manetho's lost original).
