Where it sits in time

Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.

How it ended, as its article says

Dissolved. Read from the article's section “Fall of the empire” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

With the death of Ibrahim Lodi, the Lodi dynasty also came to an end, leading to the establishment of the Mughal Empire in the subcontinent.
