	Hotepsekhemwy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hotepsekhemwy, also known as Bedjau or Baunetjer (in Greek known as Boethos), was the first king of the Second dynasty of Egypt.
		It is possible that Pharaoh Hotepsekhemwy reached office by marriage to a princess.
		Sealings with the name of "Hotepsekhemwy" have been found outside the tomb of Qa'a at Abydos.

	Hotepsekhemwy - Hotep (Hetepsekhemui Hetepsekhemwy Hotepsekhemui Hotepsekhemoui, Hetepsekhemoui, Hetep Nebty)
		Although in much minor scale than with Khasekhemui, Hotepsekhemwy's name has also been regarded as part of a programmatical intent to declare the re-union of the Upper and Lower Egypt, or, more likely, aiming to definitively seal the succession after the turmoils of his father's reign conclusion.
		Yet the major proof for the attribution of the galleries complex to Hotepsekhemwy still remains his apparently longer regnal period, which would seem to fit better with the construction of this large tomb, the first one in the new Memphite royal cemetery.
		Hotepsekhemwy decided to build his funerary complex in the Memphite necropolis after it had been at Abydos for at least 200 years.

	Dynasty 2 - Hotepsekhemwy, Reneb, Ninetjer, Ninetjer, Peribsen, Khasekhemwy
		Hotepsekhemwy, also known as Bedjau or Baunetjer, was the first king of the Second dynasty of Egypt.
		Evidence exists that Hotepsekhemwy probably developed somewhat subtle and reasonable changes in both religion and the administration of Egypt.
		We are told that Hotepsekhemwy reunited the two lands of Northern (Lower) and Southern (Upper) Egypt, so if follows that Raneb perhaps ruled during a period of a tentative peace.

	2nd Dynasty of Egypt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Hotepsekhemwy may have become king through marriage to a princess, but it is also possible that he was member of the ruling family of the 1st Dynasty.
		All in all, the transition from Qa'a of the 1st Dynasty to him was smooth and undramatic, Hotepsekhemwy may even have carried through the late king's funeral.
		Hotepsekhemwy seem to have been buried at Saqqara, deviating from the Abydos custom with former rulers.

		Interestingly, however, seal impressions of Hotepsekhemwy were discovered in the tomb of his predecessor, Qa'a, leading the German Archaeological Institute at Cairo, the team that excavated Qa'a's tomb to believe that Qa'a was probably Hotepsekhemwy's father.
		Two stone bowls inscribed with the name of Hotepsekhemwy were also found by Reisner in Menkaura's pyramid complex at Giza, while an alabaster vessel fragment bearing his name was found in grave 3112 at Badari.
		Hotepsekhemwy was succeeded by Reneb, where we first find the inclusion of the sun god into the kings name.

	King's List: Hotepsekhemwy
		Hotepsekhemwy (pleasing in powers) is a shadowy figure.
		This does not add much support to notions of dynastic struggle as it implies that even if Hotepsekhemwy was not actually a son of Qa'a, he certainly buried him with all honours.
		A granite statuette of the mortuary priest named Hetepdief, lists the names of Hotepsekhemwy, Raneb and Nynetjer, suggesting that there was no successional problems at the beginning of the second dynasty.

		Although it was eclipsed as the burial ground of royalty by Giza and, later, by the Valley of the Kings in Thebes, it remained an important complex for minor burials and cult ceremonies for more than 3,000 years, well into the Ptolemaic Period and Roman Period.
		Although the earliest burials of nobles at Saqqara can be traced back to Dynasty 1, it was not until Dynasty 2 that the first kings were buried there, including Hotepsekhemwy and Nynetjer.
		That of the Dynasty 5 pharaoh Unas, located just to the south of the step pyramid and on top of Hotepsekhemwi's tomb, houses the earliest known example of the Pyramid Texts – inscriptions with instructions for the afterlife used to decorate the interior of tombs, the precursor of the New Kingdom Book of the Dead.

	Second Dynasty at Saqqara
		The bibliography on the architecture of the Second Dynasty Royal tomb at Saqqara is somewhat scanty; the only ascertained burials have been discovered at the beginning and middle '900 beneath the Unas Pyramid and Temple (Hotepsekhemwy) and some 100 m east (Ninetjer).
		If the edge of the escarpment had been considered suitable for a Royal tomb, Hotepsekhemwy, the first king buried at Saqqara (if we exclude the ephemeral and still uncertainly placeable Sneferka), would not have been buried in such a western position, c.
		The Abydos tomb P (Peribsen) was built NW of the subsidiary pits of Djet's and Djer's tombs; it is squarish and with magazines all around the central chamber, but in the same main pit.

	Ancient Egypt: The Second Dynasty - by Francesco Raffaele
		But this is, in my opinion, not a proof of the absence of Sneferka and co.: instead it only shows Hotepsekhemwy 's will to erase those surely local rulers whose power could have had the opportunity to arise in the aftermath of the end of a royal line with the death of Qa'a.
		These tombs' superstructures were destroyed by the construction of the complex of Unas, but the labyrinthic substructures of tomb A were found and explored at the beginning of the 1900 by Barsanti (ASAE 2 and 3), and those of the tomb B by S. Hassan in 1937-8 (ASAE 38 p.

		Equally indicative of future trends was the dissolution of the unified kingdom as centralized authority waned towards the end of the dynasty.
		Although this was restored by Raneb (or Hotepsekhemwy), founder of a new line of rulers, regional disputes persisted throughout the II Dynasty (c.2890-2686 BC).
		These disputes probably inspired the contendings of Seth and Horus, a major theme in Egyptian mythology.

		The royal burial grounds at Saqqara and Abydos became sites of highly developed mastabas.
		The Second Dynasty lasting from 2980 to 2686BC was characterized by regional disputes and a decentralization of Pharaonic authority, a process which was only temporarily halted by the Pharaoh Raneb, also called Hotepsekhemwy.
		These regional contentions were very likely the outcome of the unresolved conflict between the two deities Horus in the south and Seth in the Delta.
