It was during Sahure's reign that expeditions were sent to the Near East for cedar trees which were important in later temple building. There is evidence of trade outside the Nile Valley during his reign and this might have been the beginning of trade with the outside worked or just a continuation of an already existing trade route. Sahure was the Second King of the 5th Dynasty. This was an architectural invention which lasted well into the future of Egyptian pyramids. Unique to the pyramid however, is the first square ground plan. However, it is still in dispute whether the Pyramid of Miedum was started by Huni and later finished by the Pharaoh Snefru, or whether Snefru started the Pyramid of Miedum.
He built a pyramid at Miedum on the edge of the Faiyum. Huni was the last Egyptian King of the 3rd Dynasty. Herodotus wrote 2,000 years after Khufu’s death that Khufu was an impious tyrant who closed all the temples in his country and compelled his subjects “without exception to labor as slaves for his own advantage.” There is no hard evidence to back up these assertions. There is only one existing likeness of Pharaoh Khufu - builder of the largest pyramid - and it is a small ivory statue. No papyrus scrolls from their era remain. The last three pharaohs of the 4th dynasty - Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus - built the three Great Pyramids of Giza and codified the structure of Egyptian society. Although he was really an Early Dynastic Period ruler he and his architect Imhotep built the first step pyramid and ushered in a period in which much art was created. Djoser (2630-2611 B.C.) began the age of the Pyramids. The Old Kingdom began with the reign of Snefu. Kings associated with the Pyramids include Djoser (also known as Dzoser, Dzoser, Zoser, Tosorthos, and Dozer) Sneferu (also known as Snefru, Snofru, Soris) Kufu (also known as Kufu, Cheops, Kheops, Suphis I) Chepheren (also known as Khafre, Khafra, Rakhaef, Khephren, Suphis II).
