Pepi I

Pepi I was the third pharaoh of the 6th Dynasty, who ruled from 1678 to 1646 B.C. in Upper Egypt and from 1646 to 1625 B.C. in Lower Egypt at Memphis. He succeeded Userkare in the south, Teti in the north, and was succeeded by Merenre I. Much is known about this pharaoh in both the traditional and revised histories.

Pepi was the son of Teti, whose parentage is unknown. He had several known sons, but Merenre I is the only one important to the revised history.

In 1678 B.C., Userkare died after only one year of rule in the south. To fill this void in power, Teti appointed his other son, Pepi I, to rule there. Pepi was a very militaristic ruler, and conquered much of Nubia while ruling in Upper Egypt. Once he became pharaoh of Lower Egypt at his father's death, Pepi I also conquered the Sinai and the Levant.
