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.

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...

Raneb (Nebra) in Tour Egypt

RANEB (NEBRA), THE 2ND KING OF EGYPT'S 2ND DYNASTY by Jimmy Dunn. Almost all Egyptologists firmly believe that a king by the name of Raneb (or Nebra) succeeded the first king of Egypt's 2nd Dynasty, Hotepsekhemwy.
