		Cultures during this periods are known as Naqada I and II the former being the earlier and latter being the later.
		Not much is known about the political situation during this period, it is believed however that two confederations existed, one centered in the South (Naqada) with Seth as the chief Diety and the other in the North (Behdet) with Horus (Falcon God) as the chief diety.

		According to the conventional chronology, Ramses II lived somewhere around the same time as the fall of Troy (assuming it occurred), which is already a distant memory at the time of Homer, one of the earliest Greek authors.
		No one having read from either of these in the original could possibly make the mistake of merging these two kings, since the two languages are not mutually intelligible�they do not even use the same form of the script.
		The highest dates attested for Pepy II are the somewhat doubtful year 65 (biannual cattle count, hsbt 33?) found in the chapel of Queen Udjebten, and the year after the thirty-first count (year 62) at the Hatnub quarries.
