Events

 * Imhotep, famed high priest of Re at Iunu, revives the Iremite tradition of building in stone rather than mud brick and designs the first pyramid for the king Netjerikhet, replacing the chthonic symbolism of traditional tombs with the solar symbols of Re’s priesthood. Iunu becomes the intellectual center of the country while Abdju slides into obscurity.
