Idle Ages / Ages / Egypt Old Kingdom
Egypt Old Kingdom is age 2 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 2686 BCE. You unlock it with coins the ages below it earned. From there it produces on its own cycle, with its own upgrade costs and its own four heroes.
| Position | Age 2 of 40 |
|---|---|
| Date | 2686 BCE |
| Legendary | Khufu |
| Automation | Needs Narmer at level 5, after which the age produces with the app closed for up to 8 hours |
| Heroes | Khufu, Imhotep, Hetepheres I, Narmer |
Khufu raises every age you own at once. The other three raise this one. All four carry a piece of written history that unlocks as you level them.
Legendary
Khufu ruled Egypt around 2570 BCE and built the Great Pyramid of Giza, the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. For 3,800 years it stayed the tallest structure humans had ever built. Ironically, the only statue of him ever found is a tiny ivory figure barely 7 centimeters tall.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Architect of the Step Pyramid of Djoser around 2650 BCE, Imhotep is the first engineer and physician known by name. He invented building monumentally in cut stone. Egyptians revered him for so long that 2,000 years after his death they worshipped him as a god of medicine.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare
Mother of Khufu, Hetepheres I was the highest-ranking woman of her age. Her hidden tomb at Giza, found intact in 1925, held gilded furniture, a carrying chair, and silver bracelets - the finest royal furniture ever recovered from the Old Kingdom - but her sarcophagus was mysteriously empty.
Raises the output of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Common Manager, level 5
Around 3100 BCE Narmer united Upper and Lower Egypt and became the first pharaoh of the First Dynasty. The Narmer Palette shows him wearing both crowns, the moment two lands became one kingdom that would last 3,000 years.
Raises the output of their own age. Every level multiplies what they add by 1.6. Levelling Narmer to 5 is what automates Egypt Old Kingdom.
