The Sixth Dynasty of Egypt is considered by many authorities as the last dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, although The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt includes the Seventh and Eighth Dynasties as part of the Old Kingdom. Manetho writes that these kings ruled from Memphis, since their pyramids are placed at Saqqara, very close one to another.The Sixth Dynasty was founded by Teti, who had married Iput, commonly believed to be the daughter of King Unas of the Fifth Dynasty. Manetho claimed that Teti had been murdered by his bodyguard, but no contemporary sources confirm this. During this dynasty, expeditions were sent to Wadi Maghara in the Sinai to mine for turquoise and copper, as well as to the mines at Hatnub and Wadi Hammamat. Pharaoh Djedkara sent trade expeditions south to Punt and north to Byblos, and Pepy I sent expeditions not only to these locations, but also as far as Ebla.
