Manetho of Sebennytos in the Nile Delta was an Egyptian priest and historian who flourished in the 3rd century BC. His lists of Egyptian kings continue to be used as one of the pillars of Egyptian chronology. Interestingly, he would seem to claim that the earliest of the kings ruled in a foreign land. This has been taken by some, such as R. Cedric Leonard, to mean Atlantis^(a).
