Semerkhet in Wikipedia

Semerkhet was the sixth king of Ancient Egypt's First Dynasty who ruled around 2950 BC. Although little is known of his reign, Semerkhet seems to have had a difficult time as king judging by the records of Manetho. Semerkhet's name means "Thoughtful Friend.". Family Semerkhet was a son of Pharaoh Anedjib and Queen Betrest[2] (also named Batir...

Nynetjer in Wikipedia

Nynetjer or Ninetjer was the third king of the Second dynasty of Egypt. His name translates as "Godlike" in English.[1] It is possible that Nynetjer was a son of Raneb. Ninetjer is mentioned on the Palermo Stone and also from mud seals found in an underground gallery at Saqqara which may have been his tomb. There are numerous objects from his ...

Qa'a in Tour Egypt

QA'A, THE LAST KING OF THE FIRST DYNASTY, OR WAS HE? BY JIMMY DUNN Most scholars believe that Qa'a was the last king of the 1st dynasty. We may also see his name as Kaa, or several other variations. Though Egyptologists often disagree on dating, our current best guess is that he lived from about 3100 to 2890 BC. While this information on Qa'...

Djet (Wadj) in Tour Egypt

DJET, THE 3RD KING OF EGYPT'S 1ST DYNASTY. We believe that Djet (also called Wadjit, or Uadji) succeeded Djer and we traditionally place his as the third king of Egypt's 1st Dynasty. Djet would have probably been the son of Djer, though we seem to have no real direct evidence of this relationship. However, there might have been a queen that r...

Qa'a in Wikipedia

Qa'a (also Qáa or Ka'a) was the last king of the First dynasty of Egypt. Qa'a had a fairly large tomb in Abydos which measures 98.5 X 75.5 feet or 30 X 23 meters.[1] Manetho gives him a reign of 26 years in his Epitome if this ruler was a certain Biechenes.[2] A long reign is supported by the large size of this ruler's burial site at Abydos. A...

Peribsen (Seth-Peribsen) in Tour Egypt

SEKHEMIB/SETH-PERIBSEN by Jimmy Dunn. Were Hitler and his gang to have won the second World War, there would not be a question of whether history would justify his atrocities, but rather simply how they would have been justified, and how the actual winners such as Churchill and others would have been made to look evil. The curse of our past ...

Den (Udimu) in Tour Egypt

DEN, THE 4TH KING OF EGYPT'S 1ST DYNASTY. While an early King, Den, who's name means "Horus Who Strikes" (Udimu), is perhaps better attested than some. We believe he served as the 4th King of Egypt's 1st Dynasty. He may have come to the throne at an early age, with his mother, Merneith, acting as regent. He left a number of labels and inscri...

Hetepsekhemwy (Hotepsekhemwy) in Tour Egypt

HOTEPSEKHEMWY, THE 1ST KING OF EGYPT'S 2ND DYNASTY by Jimmy Dunn Perhaps because it does not have the prestige of the 1st Dynasty, or the great monuments built during the 3rd Dynasty, Egypt's 2nd Dynasty seems almost an interlude. It is doubtful that Egyptologists have put the effort into this era that they have the dynasties before and a...
