Egypt - Pharaohs of the Old Kingdom - 2655 - 2176 BCE

by Günther Eichhorn


A lot of the information on this page is from The Ancient Egypt Site (AES below), the site Ancient Egypt (AE below), and from Wikipedia. These sites have a lot of information and consistent time lines, although they differ. The hieroglyphic names are from both the AES and AE website. The times are all from the AE website.
