Fourth Dynasty of Egypt



The Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (notatedDynasty IV or Dynasty 4) is characterized as a "golden age" of the Old Kingdom. Dynasty IV lasted from c. 2613 to 2494 BC.[ It was a time of peace and prosperity as well as one during which trade with other countries is documented.
Dynasties III, IV, V and VI are often combined under the group title the Old Kingdom, which often is 
described as the age of the pyramids. The capital at that time was Memphis.
