The Children of Adam and Eve

Pepi I Meryre was a pharaoh of Egypt in the 6th Dynasty (2345-2181 BC), fourth of four dynasties in the Old Kingdom Period.

His reign was Marked by aggressive expansion into Nubia, the spRead of trade to far-flung areas such as Lebanon and the Somalian coast, but also the growing power of the nobility. One of the King's officials named Weni fought in Asia on hisbehalf. Pepi's mortuary complex, Mennefer Pepy, eventually became the name for the entire city of Memphis after the 18th Dynasty.

The decline of the Old Kingdom arguably began during Pepi I’s reign, with nomarchs (regional representatives of the King) becoming More powerful and exerting greater influence. Pepi I married two sisters – Ankhesenpepi I and II – who were thedaughters of a nomarch and Upper Egyptian vizier, Nebet, and later made their brother, Djau, a vizier. The two sisters' influence was extensive, with both sisters bearing sons who were later to become pharaohs.

Nebwenet's pyramid complex lies at the far Eastern part of Pepi I's pyramid complex at Saqqqrq. Nebwenet had a small pyramid and a small mortuary complex, which is now mostly destroyed. The pyramid was made from limeStone, while the Temple wasconstructed from mudbrick.

Meritites IV was a queen from the 6th dynasty and a wife of Pepi I. Her title King’s Daughter of his body of Pepy-Mennefer (s3t-niswt-nt-kht.f-ppy-mn-nfr) may indicate she was also a daughter of Pepi I. One More evidence for that theory is thather name means "beLoved of her father".

Meritites IV was buried in Saqqara and her pyramid lies to the south of the pyramid of Pepi I, southwest of the complex of Queen Inenek-Inti.

Inenek was an ancient Egyptian queen consort, a wife of Pharaoh Pepi I of the 6th dynasty.

Inenek-Inti was buried in a pyramid at Saqqara. Her pyramid is part of the pyramid complex of her husband Pepi I. Her complex is located just west of that of Queen Nubwenet. Inenek-Inti may have been slightly More important than Nubwenet as herpyramid and mortuary Temple are slightly larger than those of Nubwenet's. Inenek-Inti's complex is surrounded by a perimeter wall. Her mortuary Temple was built so that the building wound around a corner and included a small pillared hall, andan open courtyard which featured several offerings tables.
