2547 BCE (WOD)

Events

 * Imhotep is deified. Re’s astronomer-priests grow stronger; temples are now exempt from taxation. Royal tombs grow more elaborate. The traditional tomb field outside Inbu-Hedj falls into disuse, in favor of a site a few miles further, on a great desert plateau overlooking the Nile. This new necropolis begins construction with the Great Pyramid of King Khufu.
