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...

Djer was the second or third pharaoh of the first dynasty of Egypt, which dates from approximately 3100 B.C.
