The eldest Pharaoh Pepi the Second


Pepy Neferkare or Pepy II
He was the last pharaoh of the dynasty six of the Old Kingdom  of the 23 century beforeChrist, some historians say that Pepi second has begun to reign  from the age of six  years, it is said that this pharaoh was who lived more of all the Pharaohs and the longest running monarch remained on the throne of all history..During the long reign of the pharaoh, the central government was deteriorating but the power of local governors and nobles was growing up, what caused very strong fall of the monarch within the firstyears of the reign of Pepi second, there have been few expeditions to Nubia for  commercial exchange with the  inhabitants of Nubia. We kept  a papyro that describes the interest of our king asking, still a child, about the pygmies who were brought from the south to be used as buffoons.

     
THE SECOND PYRAMID OF PEPI
At the end of the king's life, his health has deteriorated and had a powerfull local governors of provinces for whom Egypt was divided between them and  they started fighting  each to other, since the first union was lost for centuries which had  been made by the first pharao Menes or Narmer, and each of them gets  independente. . the  heavy fall began after the death of the king, rose two pharaohs weak they could not control the situación.in this time . in Egypt  an wise man criticized this decline in a text describing a chaotic state of affairs and displays nostalgia for the past, talking about the lack of respect for elders, the looting of the tombs of a blatant way, and ordinary women  got mirrors but the ladies were looking in the water because they had no mirrors
The pyramid of Pepy II and his mortuary complex at Saqqara there
The conclusion: we must recognize that the pharaonic tourism is the great tourism 

The egyptian tourism is the super tourism
