2400 BC - 2280 BC
Pepi I Meryre (also Pepy I) was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, third king of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt, who ruled for over 40 years at the turn of the 24th and 23rd centuries BC, toward the end of the Old Kingdom period. He was the son of Teti, the founder of the dynasty, and ascended the throne only after the brief intervening reign of the shadowy Userkare. His mother was Iput, who may have been a daughter of Unas, the final ruler of the preceding Fifth Dynasty. Read more on Wikipedia

He was a son of Pepi II and Ankhesenpepi I, and thus a grandson of Merenre Nemtyemsaf I. Pepi I's reign seems to have been peaceful.
