 | The 3rd Dynasty (2647-2573 bc) was the first of the Memphite houses, and its second ruler, Zoser, or Djoser, emphasized national unity by balancing northern and southern motifs in his mortuary buildings at Saqqara. |
| As a consequence of internal strife, the reigns of this and the succeeding 8th Dynasty (2134-2124 bc) are rather obscure. |
| In fact the next two dynasties, the 23rd (818-715 bc) and 24th (727-715 bc), were contemporaneous with the latter part of the 22nd Dynasty, just as the 25th (Nubian) Dynasty effectively controlled much of Egypt during the last years of the 22nd and the 24th dynasties. |
