He is thought to have ruled the country for 94 years . During the first years of his reign , still being a child , his mother was his regent and his Uncle Gau and his vizier had the upper hand on the country's affairs .
He sent expeditions to the South , led by the governors of Elephantine , the most famous of which were Harkhuf , Pepy-nakht , Mekhu and Ny-sab .
The wealth of the local rulers is apparent in the provincial necropolises at Cusae , Akhmim , Abydos ,
Edfu
and Elephantine .
The exceptional length of Pepy II Reign resulted not only in the gradual disintegration of the administration system but also in a succession crisis .
