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 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.

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.

Djer in Wikipedia

Djer was the second or third pharaoh of the first dynasty of Egypt, which dates from approximately 3100 B.C. Some scholars, however, debate whether the first pharaoh, Menes or Narmer, and Hor-Aha might have been different rulers. If they were separate rulers, this would make Djer the third pharaoh in the dynasty. A mummified wrist of Djer or...
