Text

Pepi II was an Egyptian king of the Sixth Dynasty in the late third millennium BCE. [1]

His pyramid at southern Saqqara bears Pyramid Texts, including the witness used in the creation study. His long reign is famous, but its duration is debated; a broad period is distinguished from a disputed exact number.
