...some of which are known forgeries, but are included anyway.

I have my own opinions on ancient Egypt - which align with other unorthodox thinking - but it's a glaring red flag when a culture rewrites their prehistory through forgery.

Thusly, NONE of Egyptian 'written' history can be trusted as fact, and it's also a red flag that at every turn the 'Egyptology overlord' prevents any study which conflicts with the established narrative.

The forgeries I mentioned are modern - one was found in a bazaar in the late 19th century, others are copies with additions which appear genuine.

Then there are legitimate lists with unknown kings, and others with known kings omitted. Kings often changed their names - sometimes a king was know by one name and later by another - worse, one of those new names might be of another king altogether.

They didn’t forge in the old days, they just omitted kings they didn’t like for whatever reason during the rein of one king, but in the next rein, the list might have the omitted kings because they had been ‘repatriated’ as their cults were resurrected by some priests in some temple.

Its extremely confusing, and if you have one opinion about the placement of a particular king and one of your colleges has a different one - it can come to blows, the temperaments being very heated, since their professional careers are at stake.
