	Second dynasty of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The First and Second Dynasties of ancient Egypt are often combined under the group title, Early Dynastic Period of Egypt.
		Although Manetho states the capital was at Tanis, the same as during the First Dynasty, at least the first three kings were buried at Saqqara, suggesting the center of power had moved to the nearby city of Memphis.
		Beyond this, little can be said about the events during this period; the annual records on the Palermo stone only survive for the end of the reign of Raneb and for parts of Nynetier's.

		Of all the dynasties, the history and chronology of the 2nd Dynasty are the most difficult to grasp.
		This is based on the fact that his name was found at the entrance of the tomb of Horus Qa'a, the last king of the 1st Dynasty, an indication that Hotepsekhemwi buried Qa'a and must therefore have been his successor.
		The known royal tombs of the early 2nd Dynasty were corridors dug into the ground, with long narrow storage rooms to the left and right of them.

		The earliest certain instance of the term "pharaoh" is in a letter addressed to Thutmose III in the mid-Eighteenth Dynasty (1539-1292 BC).
		This name was associated with the goddess of Upper Egypt (the vulture-goddess Nekhbet), and the goddess of Lower Egypt (the cobra-goddess Wadjet).

		The placement of Khasekhemui at the end of Dynasty II is not defensible and is based on the demands of an assumed sequence of Dynasties II and III, an assumption that has not been established.
		The suggestion is again strong that the long period of Dynasty II did not separate Dynasty III from Dynasty I. The writing of Dynasty III reveals characteristics of Dynasty I, hardly to be expected if a period of centuries separated the two dynasties.
		This is an anachronism with Dynasty I separated from the beginning of the pyramid age by a matter of centuries.

		At least the last king of the 2nd Dynasty, Khasekhemwi, appears to have built a large tomb-like construction there, its structure very similar to the oldest 2nd Dynasty royal tombs.
		This can in part be explained by the fact that most of the kings of the 4th Dynasty would prefer Giza or Abu Rawash to the North and Dashur to the South for their burial.
		Because government during the 4th Dynasty was highly centralised and consisted mainly of members of the royal family, most high-ranking officials moved to the vicinity of the monument of their king as well.

		The building of the step-pyramid and surrounding complex for the 2nd king of the 3rd Dynasty, Netjerikhet, represents a dramatic leap forward in the ancient Egyptians' mastering of architecture and technology.
		The complex was built to the South-West of the archaic mastabas that were constructed for the high ranking officials of the 1st Dynasty at Saqqara (North).
		Although it was based on existing, older structures, dated to the 2nd Dynasty, and although the 'Great Enclosure' contains some elements made with stone, it was the first time that a complex of this size was built in stone.

		The third king of the 2nd Dynasty, Ninetjer, appears to have been buried a little further to the east of Tomb A. His tomb (Tomb B) was overbuilt by the causeway of Unas (Unis), and was first excavated by S. Hassan between 1937 and 1938.

		The problems raised by the first four kings of the 1st Dynasty, with Menes at their head, are less easily solved and demand a wider perspective than has sufficed for the last four.
		Confirmation of the later event is implied by a palette of the 19th Dynasty mentioning the Ptah of Menes.
		The discoveries at Abydos had convinced scholars that they were there in possession of the actual burial-places of the earliest Pharaohs, and confirmation seemed forthcoming from Manetho's statement that 1st and 2nd Dynasty Kings were of Thinite origin, for the Egyptian town of Tjene was in the near neighborhood of Abydos.

	For some, Peribsen was the fourth king of the 2nd dynasty. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		For some, Peribsen was the fourth king of the 2nd dynasty.
		Peribsen's successor Khasekhem(wy) reverted to the Horus title and later took the unprecedented position of adopting both titles, Horus and Seth (those previously reserved for Queens), which seems to suggest that either some reconciliation took place or he was displaying the fact that he had complete control over the two opposing powers.
		It is certainly tempting to associate the 2nd dynasty name changing of Peribsen and Khasekhem(wy) to "head smiting" and political change but the myth surrounding Horus and Seth also brings into focus many religious elements, if a distinction can be made.

		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.
		Basically we know the names of the first three rulers of the 2nd Dynasty, Hotepsekhemwy, Raneb and Nynetjer, from inscriptions on the back of a statue (now in the Egyptian Antiquities Museum) of a priest named Hotep-dif (or perhaps, more accurately, Redjit.
		Two of the first three kings of the dynasty may have been buried here, with the third possibly in a substructure over which Djoser's Step Pyramid was built.

		Four of the Manethonian names are recognizable, despite grave distortion, in the Ramesside king-lists, though it needed a demonstration of great acumen to show how Manetho's Tlas originated in a King Weneg known only from fragments of bowls stored in the underground galleries of the Step Pyramid.
		Before leaving the subject of Kha'sekhemui it must be mentioned that the making of a copper statue of his record is in the fifth line of the Palermo Stone; also that a breccia fragment with his name was discovered at Byblos.

		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.
		Apparently at the end of the 1st Dynasty, there was considerable rebellion, presumably problems held over from the empires initial unification.
		1st Dynasty kings appear to have mostly been buried at Abydos, but his seal impressions at Saqqara suggest that he could have been buried there, though there is absolutely no certainty on that matter.
