And the traditional thought is that these were heirlooms from his ancestors, right? You've heard this before too. Now, Jozer's ancestors, I'll just read it off here. Because it's more concise the way I wrote it. So the overwhelming majority of pre-dynastic hardstone vases were discovered beneath Jozer's step pyramid complex. The overwhelming majority.

I mean, scant evidence of them found in other places, but the vast majority of them are found here. And then I should also say... We find them in burials, you know, it ends at 3100 BC, 3000, 29, 28, 27 is his. But everywhere in there, we're still finding them scarcely buried in other people's tombs.

People love these heirlooms and they want themselves buried with it to maybe take it with them into the next world. That continues all the way to 2100 BC. After 2100 BC, there's nobody being born in, there's nobody who's dying in 2000 BC that's burying themselves with these phases because they're not accessible anymore.

For one reason or another, they're not, and they never appear in tombs again after that, that they've marked. So the overwhelming majority of pre-dynastic hardstone vases were discovered beneath Djoser's step pyramid complex and are believed to have belonged to Djoser's ancestors who were likely from northern Egypt.

Archaeological and literary evidence such as Manetho's history of Egypt from the 3rd century BC and the Narmer palette from 3100 BC tell us that dynastic Egypt began when a king from the south, Narmer, or Menes—we don't know if those are the same people or not— This is where the smiting pose, where the Pharaoh is grabbing his opposing ruler by the hair and crushing his head in with the mace.

"...smiting their king and declaring himself the first king of the two lands." This conquering of northern Egypt's kingdom likely disrupted and halted many different aspects of their society.

And I assume the industry involved in creating these vases, along with the technology used to make them, was lost, hidden, destroyed, or buried during the chaos, answering the questions of why we do not find them being crafted in the archaeological record beyond 3100 BC or Dynasty Zero. Because they're all in the north. Almost all of these vases are up in the north.
