Btw, if you find the Amarna period interesting, some believe Pepi II's pop might've been involed in a murdered plot. There's even some sun worship thrown in for a good mix. http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/pepi1.htm

Didn't someone try to kill the first Pepi? I believe the harem women wanted him dead,so he let Weni investigate the crime. I still need to learn more about the early 5-8 dyansties because these dyansties are simply a fog to me.

Interesting. Maybe people just rounded the number off today. I guess we'll have to check it out.

That's the question. What's the real story behind the murder of Teti, the ascension of Userkare the throne and the plot against Pepi I? Are these three distinct events?
