Definition
- 1L’Ancien Empire est la partie de l’histoire de l’ancienne Égypte (ou Égypte dite des pharaons) allant d’environ 2686 à 2181 av. J.-C. Parmi les souverains les plus connus de cette période figurent Djéser (pyramide à degrés de Saqqara), Snéfrou, mais surtout Khéops en raison de sa pyramide (la Grande Pyramide de Gizeh). À la fin de l’Ancien Empire, des périodes successives de sécheresse pourraient avoir provoqué une révolution et conduit à la Première Période intermédiaire, elle-même suivie du Moyen Empire.
