Editing Unas (section)

===Historical sources===
Unas is well attested by historical sources with three ancient Egyptian king lists dating to the [[New Kingdom of Egypt|New Kingdom]] period mentioning him.{{sfn|Baker|2008|pp=482–483}} He occupies the 33rd entry of the [[Abydos King List]], which was written during the reign of [[Seti I]] (1290–1279 BC). Unas' name is also present on the [[Saqqara Tablet]] (32nd entry){{sfn|Mariette|1864|p=15}} and on the [[Turin King List|Turin canon]] (third column, 25th row), both of which were written during the reign of [[Ramses II]] (1279–1213 BC).{{sfn|Baker|2008|pp=482–483}} The Turin canon further credits Unas with 30 years of reign.{{sfn|Baker|2008|pp=482–483}}{{sfn|Gardiner|1959|loc=pl. II & Col. III num. 25}} These sources all place Unas as the ninth and final ruler of the Fifth Dynasty, succeeding [[Djedkare Isesi]] and preceding [[Teti]] on the throne.{{sfn|von Beckerath|1999|pp=60&ndash;61|loc=king no. 9}} This relative chronology is corroborated by archaeological evidence, for example in the tomb of officials serving under these kings.{{sfn|Kanawati|2001|pp=1&ndash;2}}

In addition to these sources, Unas was also likely mentioned in the ''[[Manetho#Aegyptiaca|Aegyptiaca]]'', a history of Egypt written in the 3rd century BC during the reign of [[Ptolemy II]] (283–246 BC) by the Egyptian priest [[Manetho]]. No copies of the ''Aegyptiaca'' have survived to this day and it is known to us only through later writings by [[Sextus Julius Africanus]] and [[Eusebius]]. Africanus relates that the ''Aegyptiaca'' mentioned a pharaoh "Onnos" reigning for 33 years at the end of the Fifth Dynasty. Onnos is believed to be the [[Hellenization|hellenized]] form for Unas, and Africanus' 33-year figure fits well with the 30 years of reign given to Unas on the Turin canon.{{sfn|Baker|2008|pp=482–483}}
