Seneferwi (27th century BCE – c. 2589 BCE) was the founder of the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. He led invasions of neighboring peoples, capturing 7,000 people and 200,000 cattle from the Kushites and 1,100 people from the Libyan Berbers. He also conquered several copper mines on the Sinai Peninsula. Under Seneferwi, Egypt brought cedar from the Phoenician city of Gebal (Byblos) and sent trading expeditions to Kush to buy ebony, incense, and perfumes.[1]
