What was the height of Egyptian civilization?
Dynasty VI represented the height of Egyptian civilization, with trading, exploratory, and military expeditions well beyond Egypt's borders. This superficial greatness masked great underlying stresses, however, as we can see from the monuments of the period. From Dynasty IV on, the grandeur of Egypt, represented by these religious monuments, placed a growing strain on national resources. Mortuary cults, responsible for maintenance of the monuments, had to be supported. As the number of monuments grew, so did the financial burden on the state. Meanwhile, pharaohs periodically exempted temple estates and other organizations from taxation, reducing state revenues. Years: 2345-2183 BC [6th Dynasty]
