Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指埃及文明三大高峰時期中的第二個高峰期,發展於西元前2008年至西元前1630年間,包含第十一王朝與第十二王朝:某些研究資料認為結束於西元前1630年的第十三王朝亦包括在內。此時代的特色為各種藝術的復甦,尤其可見於王室陵墓金字塔與神殿的建造、私人的石砌墓室與其裝飾、在皇室雕塑上製作肖像的偏好,以及特別展現在浮雕雕塑與繪畫技巧上的藝術性與精準之高度水準。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar de tweede van drie grote perioden in de Egyptische beschaving, van circa 2008 tot 1630 v. Chr. en de 11de en 12de dynastie omvattend. Sommige bronnen rekenen hier ook de 13de dynastie toe, die circa 1630 v. Chr. ten einde liep. De periode kenmerkt zich door een heropleving van de kunst, die met name te zien is in de bouw van koninklijke grafpiramiden en tempels, particuliere, uit rotsen gehakte graven en de versiering hiervan, een belangstelling voor portretkunst in de koninklijke beeldhouwkunst en een algeheel hoog niveau van kunstzinnigheid en precieze uitvoering, met name in reliëfbeelden en de schilderkunst. 
French ..... Fait référence à la seconde des trois grandes périodes de la civilisation égyptienne allant d’environ 2008 à 1630 avant notre ère, et comprenant la XIe dynastie et la XIIe dynastie ; certaines sources ajoutent la XIIIe dynastie qui se termine vers 1630 avant notre ère. Cette période se distingue par un nouvel essor des arts, notamment dans la construction de pyramides et de temples funéraires royaux, de tombes privées taillées dans la roche et de leur ornementation, par un engouement pour le portrait dans la sculpture royale, et par un haut niveau artistique et une grande précision d’exécution, en particulier dans la sculpture en relief et la peinture. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere al segundo de los tres grandes períodos en la civilización egipcia desde aproximadamente el 2008 al 1630 a.C. que comprenden la Dinastía XI y XII; algunas fuentes incluyen la XIII Dinastía que termina aproximadamente en el 1630 a.C. El período se caracteriza por un renacimiento de las artes visto particularmente en la construcción de pirámides funerarias reales y templos, tumbas de roca cortada privadas y su decoración, un interés en el retrato en escultura real y en conjunto un alto nivel de arte y precisión en la ejecución particularmente en escultura en relieve y pintura.
