The 18th, 19th, and first 20th Dynasties guided Egypt to its climax of power. Still, throughout the latter portion of the 20th Dynasty (identified as the Ramessid Age), that influence began to decline as the priests of Amun obtained more unimaginable resources and authority, and the situation of the pharaohs depreciated. The temple's capacity can best recognize the Cult of Amun's capability to the God at Karnak, which each new Kingdom leader added to. By the New Kingdom's conclusion, over 80,000 priests were contracted by the temple at Thebes solely, not including other cities in multiple regions. The most important of these ministers were more valuable and controlled more land than the pharaoh.

The Old Kingdom of Egypt (circa 2613-2181 BC) is otherwise called the 'Age of the Pyramids' or 'Age of the Pyramid Builders' as it incorporated the great fourth Dynasty when King Sneferu idealized the craft of pyramid building, and the pyramids of Giza were developed under the rulers Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. The verifiable records of this period, the fourth, sixth Dynasties of Egypt, are scant, and antiquarians respect the historical backdrop of the time as in a real sense 'written in stone' and generally compositional in that it is through the landmarks and their engravings that researchers have had the option to develop a set of experiences. The actual pyramids transfer sparse data on their developers. However, the morgue sanctuaries fabricated close by, and the stelae which went with them give the ruler's names and other significant data.
