First Intermediate Period (Part III): Khety vs. Intef.
After years of intermittent conflict, and attempts at conquest, the time has come for a final showdown between Egypt's two royal factions.
The House of Intef (at Thebes) are pushing northward; in the North, the House of Khety stands firm.
Local rulers at Asyut fight for the North, battering their opponents violently.
