	Egypt: Netjenkhet Djoser, the 2nd King of Egypt's 3rd Dynasty
		Netjerikhet Djoser was the 2nd King of Egypt's 3rd Dynasty, and was probably the most famous king during this period.
		This claim is made under the authority of Djoser, who, the inscription reads, was advised by Imhotep, his famous vizier, to make the grant of land to the temple of Khnum in order to end a famine in Egypt.
		Djoser is also attested by fragments from a shrine in Heliopolis, a seal impressions in the tomb of Khasekhemwy in Abydos, a seal impressions from tomb 2305 in Saqqara, a seal impression from the tomb of Hesy in Saqqara, seal impression from Hierakonpolis and seal impression from Elephantine.

	SAQQARA
		Djoser's complex is remarkable because not only was it the worlds' first ever pyramid, it is also acknowledged as the worlds' first completely stone building.
		The fact that Djoser was able to build such a massive and innovative structure suggests that during his reign Egypt was politically stable, with a successful economy.
		It is thought that this ceremony may have derived from a primitive belief that the fertility of the fields was dependent on the physical ability of the king.

	Djoser Complex
		Djoser's funerary monument was the first time that stone architecture had been used on such a large scale in Egypt.
		The pyramid and the related structures which constitute the Djoser complex are surrounded by an imposing wall in light Tura limestone interrupted by simulacra of fourteen doors which probably follows the form of the wall at Memphis at the time.
		Djoser's pyramid seems to have initially taken the form of a huge mastaba, but it was gradually extended and elaborated until it consisted of six massive steps reaching a height of 60 meters, making it clearly visible from the capital city of

		It was made for the pharaoh, Djoser and began as a normal mastaba, but was subsequently enlarged by adding one mastaba on top of another until it consisted of six terraces some 200ft (60 meters) high.

	Saqqara and the Step Pyramid of Djoser
		The years before Djoser came to the throne were apparently characterized by rival pharaohs and civil war— the royal cemeteries show signs of massive destruction and burning.
		The mastaba built by Imhotep for Djoser was enlarged on at least three occasions, covering a line of eleven shafts which had been sunk along the eastern side of the structure.
		Djoser's son and successor Sekhemkhet built a similar complex at Saqqara and there is evidence of at least two others to the west.

	National Geographic: Egypt--Step Pyramid of Djoser, Saqqara
		Intended to hold his mummified body, Pharaoh Djoser's Step Pyramid at Saqqara began as a traditional, flat-roofed mastaba.
		But by the end of his 19-year reign, in 2611 B.C., it had risen to six stepped layers and stood 204 feet (62 meters) high.
		The tomb was nevertheless plundered, and all that remains of Djoser, the third king of Egypt's 3rd dynasty (time line), is his mummified left foot.

		During his reign, Djoser's foreign policy was conservative, and focused on establishing Egypt as an economic presence, and maintaining the Sinai, so important for trade and as a military buffer zone between Egypt and the Asian/Arab states.
		Djoser did not expand the borders of Egypt during his reign, and the southern border of Egypt may have been fixed at the First Cataract.
		Djoser moved the royal capitol to Memphis, and cut all ties to the old necropolis at Memphis -- moving instead to Saqqara.

	Dynasty 3 - Sanakht, Djoser, Sekhemkhet, Khaba, Huni,
		However, despite this, mud seal impressions bearing the name of Nethery-khet Djoser from the Abydos tomb of the last king of the 2nd Dynasty Khasekhemuy and connected with the burial seem to suggest that Khasekhemuy's widow and her already ruling son Djoser were in charge of the king's burial.
		Hence, on the basis that Djoser was succeeded by Sekhemkhet and of indications pointing to Khaba as the third in line, Nebka may have been the fourth king of the dynasty, to be equated with the Nebkara following Djoser-teti and preceding Huni in the Saqqara king list.
		Djoser sent several military expeditions to the Sinai Peninsula, during which the local inhabitants were subdued.

	The Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara in Egypt, An Introduction
		According to tradition, it was built for Horus Netjerikhet, better known as Djoser, a major ruler of Egypt's 3rd Dynasty, by Imhotep, Egypt's most famous architect who was subsequently deified during the New Kingdom.
		Djoser is actually the name given to this king by visitors to the site one thousand years after its construction, but actually the only name found on its walls is that of Netjerykhet.
		Because of its originality, the group of buildings constituting Djoser's pyramid complex is usually seen as the expression of Egyptian political stability at the beginning of the Old Kingdom.

	Djoser - Definition, explanation
		Because Queen Nimaethap, the wife of Khasekhemwy the last king of the Second dynasty, appears to have held the title of "Mother of the King", some writers argue that she was Djoser's mother and Khasekhemwy was his father.
		Djoser sent several military expeditions to the Sinai Peninsula, during which the local inhabitants were subdued.
		An inscription claiming to date to the reign of Djoser, but actually created during the Ptolemaic Dynasty, relates how Djoser rebuilt the temple of the god Khnum on the island of Elephantine at the First Cataract, thus ending a famine in Egypt.
