Djoser, Imhotep and Elephantine.

 

Djoser's Step Pyramid is completed. Imhotep returns, and later becomes a patron deity of wisdom and learning.

Elephantine, one of the best sources for Old Kingdom villages and architecture, gets a look-in.

 2014 update: a pyramid at Edfu has been revealed by Egyptologists! It may be one of the ceremonial pyramids commissioned by Huni up and down the Nile valley. View the photos below or on Live Science.
