Old Kingdom Egypt

After the Archaic Period comes Old Kingdom Egypt.

The Thinite period covered 400 years from 3100 BC onwards and the rise and fall of over a dozen kings and the vizier order.

In the Old Kingdom the unity of Egypt grows initially but comes to a revolutionary end with the kings of the sixth and seventh dynasties.

Some egyptologists, people who study egyptian history, consider dynasty 3 to be part of the Archaic period or early dynasties. Others set the beginning of Old Kingdom Egypt at the beginning of the the third dynasty. The first king is called a Pharoah until the fourth dynasty.

The Egyptians under their new one king ruled by Horus who represented in a human god is the divine being of Ptah and rules from "the house of god", the Pr'aa, in the city of the white walls which is Memphis. The king is Pharoah by the fourth dynasty.

Old Kingdom Egypt is the time when the pyramids are believed to have been constructed. The alternate historians might not agree with the conventional egyptologist on this and they might tell you that while the power of the pyramid builder was reawakened in the Old Kingdom, the ideology or the knowledge behind the pyramidal structure holds it's roots in a much...much older world order.

Who's right ? Only time will tell.

The first pyramid definitely demonstrated advancements in the knowledge base and skillset of the Old Kingdom Egypt society. The mud brick huts and structures of the Archaic period has given way to neolithic/ bronze age fine stone cuts along with the smeltering of and crafting in of malleable ores and minerals.

The burial chambers and tombs of the Archaic age and the predynastic Egypt have also been upgraded. This is evident in the pyramids of the Old Kingdom.
