There were approximately 17 or 18 kings during this dynasty which lasted about 20 years. There were two kings that we know of, Wadjkare and Qakare Iby. The former left behind royal exemption decrees and the later, a small pyramid. During this dynasty in Coptos (located in Upper Egypt) there was a series of decrees that indicate that the 8th Dynasty kings were confirming administrative positions in the government and temples.
