In this episode, I wrap up the Egyptian Old Kingdom by working through the 5^th and 6^th Dynasties. The reigns of the Pharaohs Neferefre, Shepseskare, Menkauhor, Djedkare, Unas, Teti, and the two Pepis. Throughout these two dynasties, the power and prestige of the empire shrank while the administrative ranks of the government swelled. Next week, I’ll begin the history of the First Intermediate Period. After listening, let me know what you think.
