Old Kingdom (Egyptian) (Egyptian periods, Egyptian (ancient), ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to the first of three great period of Egyptian civilization from about 2650 to 2150 BCE comprising the Third Dynasty to Sixth Dynasty; some sources begin with the Fourth Dynasty about 2575 BCE and extend through the Eighth Dynasty ending about 2134 BCE. The period is characterized by royal monuments of the highest quality including the pyramid complexes of the Fourth Dynasty which symbolize the absolute sovereignty of Egypt's kings and the continued use of artistic conventions introduced in the Early Dynastic period. The end of the period is characterized by a general decline in the arts reflecting the political circumstances of the time.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指埃及文明三大高峰時期中的第一個高峰時期,發展於西元前2650年至西元前2150年間,包含第三至第六王朝:某些研究資料認為此時期始於為西元前2575的第四王朝,結束於西元前2134年的第八王朝。此時期特色為高品質的王室建物,包括了第四王朝興建的金字塔群(pyramid complexes),其不僅延續使用了早期王朝留下的藝術手法,更象徵了埃及法老王的絕對君權。到了末期,各種藝術普遍衰退,反映了當時混亂的政治狀況。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar de eerste van drie grote perioden van de Egyptische beschaving, van circa 2650 tot 2150 v. Chr. De periode loopt van de Derde tot de Zesde Dynastie. Sommige bronnen tellen echter vanaf de Vierde Dynastie, circa 2575 v. Chr. tot aan de Achtste Dynastie, die circa 2134 ten einde loopt. De periode kenmerkt zich door kwalitatief uiterst hoogstaande koninklijke monumenten, zoals de piramidecomplexen van de vierde dynastie, die de absolute soevereiniteit van de Egyptische koningen symboliseerde, en de voortdurende toepassing van de artistieke conventies die in de Vroeg-Dynastieke periode waren geïntroduceerd. Het eind van de periode kenmerkt zich door een algemene neergang in de kunsten als gevolg van de politieke omstandigheden van de tijd. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere al primero de los tres grandes períodos de la civilización egipcia desde aproximadamente el 2650 al 2150 a.C. que comprenden desde la III Dinastía a la VI Dinastía; algunas fuentes empiezan con la IV Dinastía aproximadamente en 2575 a.C. y se extiende a través de la VIII Dinastía en finalizando aproximadamente en el 2134 a.C. El período se caracteriza por monumentos reales de la más alta calidad que incluyen los complejos de pirámides de la IV Dinastía que simboliza la soberanía absoluta de los reyes de Egipto y el uso continuado de convenciones artísticas introducidas en el período Dinástico Temprano. El fin del período se caracteriza por un declive general en las artes que refleja las circunstancias políticas del tiempo.
