The Genealogy of Ankhefensekhmet or Genealogy of the Memphite priestly elite is an ancient Egyptian relief – sometimes referred to as a stela – normally identified as having been made during the 8th century BCE, under the reign of pharaoh Shoshenq V of the late 22nd Dynasty. A surviving block is kept at the Egyptian Museum of Berlin. The relief was issued by a priest called Ankhefensekhmet with the purpose of illustrating his own genealogy. The relief traces back Ankhefensekhmet's sequence of ancestors up to 64 generations before, with the earliest individual, Ptahemheb, identified by Ritner as being from the time of Nebhepetre of the 11th Dynasty and alternatively identified by Borchart as being from the time of Nebkaure Khety of the 10th Dynasty. On 25 occasions the genealogy also names the pharaoh or king who was ruling at the time.
