Needs work
Consider: "the first pharaoh of the fourth dynasty and single-handedly marked the climax of the Old Kingdom. He descended from a family in the Middle Kingdom, that lived near the city Hermopolis and most likely, he ascended to the throne by marrying a royal heiress." It is not possible for a fourth dynasty Pharoah to be descended from a Middle Kingdom family.--131.118.144.250 (talk) 20:22, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi!

Khufu's reign seems a bit short on the green timeline :) I think the source of the slavery myth comes from Herodot, too, who mentions this in his book. It is sad that there has to be so much defence of a popular myth- I wonder by whom the Empire State Building was erected? Nice article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.171.71.40 (talk) 16:00, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Corrected ridiculously inaccurate dates
Dates were given in the 2400s and 2300s for most of these pharaohs. These are obviously ludicrous; if you just check the pages for each pharaoh, you'll see that they were all quite incorrect. I've made the corrections, to the best of my ability. Lionboy-Renae (talk) 02:58, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Doesn't matter all that much, since truth is, it's impossible to pinpoint anything like exact dates that long ago, and differing estimates by prominent Egyptologists have varied wildly, even by centuries.  2400 BC could well be no more or less 'ludicrous' than 2600 BC!

 * The dates aren't ludicrous at all. A number of pharaohs made recorded observations of the heliacal rise of Sothis; these can be astronomically pinpointed, and have thus resulted in the emergence of "high" and "low" chronologies for the pharaohs' reigns (based on where the heliacal rises were observed from).
