Sekhemkhet in Wikipedia

Sekhemkhet was a Pharaoh in Egypt during the Third dynasty. According to the Manethonian tradition, a king known as Tyris (which may be compared to the Turin Canon's "Djoser-ti") reigned for a relatively brief period of seven years, and modern scholars believe Djoserty and Sekhemkhet are the same person. While the Turin Canon gives Sekhemkhet ...

Khasekhemwy in Tour Egypt

KHASEKHEM/KHASEKHEMWY OF EGYPT'S 2ND DYNASTY by Jimmy Dun. Khasekhemwy is perhaps the best attested ruler of the 2nd Dynasty, a period that we know very little about in general.
