Description: (King of Egypt)
Pepi II Neferkare, a pharaoh of the Sixth Dynasty in Egypt's Old Kingdom, ruled for several decades, starting at a young age. As his reign progressed, the influence of local nobles grew, leading to a weakening of the pharaoh's power. This shift in dynamics caused internal conflicts and instability within the kingdom. Ultimately, Pepi II's rule coincided with a period of decline that played a role in the downfall of the Old Kingdom shortly after his reign.
