Late Eleventh Dynasty

In general, the so-called First Intermediate Period has not really been well defined in terms of dynasties and its chronology. In principle, experts use to distinguish between the declining period of Neferkare Pepi II at the demise of the Old Kingdom, including the later ramifications of such a power as expressed by the Memphite Dynasties VII and VIII (ca. 2185-2160 BCE), and the transfer of the Old Kingdom tradition to the centre of Herakleopolis Magna, whose Dynasties IX and X (ca. 2160-2040 BCE) gave name –under the auspices of the "House of Khety"– to a significant period of Memphite tone that is still unknown in multiple aspects.#ancientegypt #anubitv #tebe #historyDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/l-antica-sapienza-egizia--3571682/support.
