	Horus Khasekhem - Horus Seth Khasekhemwy Khasekhemui Khasekhemoui - HotepNetjerwyimef / Nebwyhotepimef - NwbKhetsen / ...
		King Khasekhemwy was certainly one of the most relevant figures of the Early Dynastic Egyptian History.
		The reign of Khasekhemwy certainly marked a sudden return to the power and splendour, introducing the grandeur of the follower, another great king -and probably his son- Horus Netjerykhet (Djoser).
		The names Khasekhem and Khasekhemwy have been found in few centers: Hierakonpolis/Edfu, Abydos, Saqqara, Byblos; but the attestations from the former three refers to different archaeological contexts and sites; there are also a couple of reliefs fragments from Gebelein (no name preserved) datable to the late Second Dynasty and more unprovenanced objects.

		Khasekhemwy is perhaps the best attested ruler of the 2nd Dynasty, a period that we know very little about in general.
		On the base of two seated statues of Khasekhemwy, we are told that some 47,209 northerners were killed, a huge number considering the relatively small population of Egypt during the early dynastic period.

		At the slightly earlier tomb of the Pharaoh Khasekhemwy, at the old royal cemetery at Abydos in southern Egypt, German excavators found evidence of a similar flat mound covering the central part of the underground burial complex.
		The walls in the central part of the tomb were compacted to about twice the thickness and half the height of the walls to the sides, suggesting a heavy weight had once stood on top, Mr Dreyer told Reuters in an interview.
		Khasekhemwy's complex also had one of the niched enclosure walls which later became a distinctive feature of the dozens of pyramids built along the western edge of the Nile Valley for hundreds of years to come, he said.

	Egyptian Pharaohs : Early Dynastic Period : Dynasty 2
		It is possible that the continuing rivalry between the north and south, and Horus and Seth, continued throughout the second dynasty, resulting in the split.
		Peribsen was the first to reunify the lands, but it was Khasekhemwy who once again ruled Egypt as its sole pharaoh.
		Peribsen/Sekhemib is notable because he was probably the first pharaoh who broke with the major religious practices of Egypt -- he forsook Horus for Seth, and may be the first true religious reformer in Egypt.

	Sanakht - Zanakht (= Nebka ?)
		But now think again to the proof of the seal impressions of Netjeryhet near Khasekhemwy's tomb entrance; it has been interpreted as the demonstration that the former immediately followed the latter; this is questionable too: seal impressions of the 2 nd dyn.
		Khasekhemwy would have thus partially failed in reuniting the two lands, because a new member of the other stock would have arisen to the throne after his reign.
		The relationship of both Khasekhemwy and Netjerykhet with Nimaathapi is a clue not to admit a reign between these two, or at least an important and long one.

	The mastabas if Ti and Akhethotep/Ptahotep (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Recent findings at Khasekhemwy's Abydos tomb have strengthened the belief that the king was Djoser's immediate predecessor - a seal impression on the tomb doorway suggests that Djoser buried Khasekhemwy.
		It is therefore not unreasonable to suggest Khasekhemwy was the builder of Gisr el-Mudir, which Djoser then copied and developed into his Step Pyramid complex.
		If this is the case, then Khasekhemwy and not Djoser should be heralded as the builder of Egypt's first stone monument.

	Sanakhte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sanakhte, also known as Nebka and Khaba (in Greek known as Mesochris), was the first pharaoh of the Third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt (ruled 2686-2668 BC).
		He presumably gained his position by marriage to a daughter of Khasekhemwy, his predecessor as pharaoh; the kingship even at this early period being passed down through the female line.
		He was succeeded by the much more famous pharaoh Djoser normally believed to be his brother.

		Khasekhemwy reunified the north and the south but Djoser, the first king of the third dynasty, was a leader of a peaceful reunited kingdom.

		Many seals with Djoser's name were found at Khasekhemwy's tomb and that he was responsible for the funerary rites for the dead king.

	Khasekhemwy Second Dynasty Pharaohs Chronology by Astronomy Tropical Solar Year Intercalation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Using their 365-day calender, the Pharaohs would soon have noticed that the Seasons did not keep time with this 365-day figure and that a calendric correction had to be made as the centuries passed.
		Khasekhemwy is given a "lifetime" of 70 years on the Turin Papyrus and a rule of 25 years up to the 480th year.
		But this would mean - after Khasekhemwy - that only the kings with a "length of rule" on the Turin Papyrus served as pharaohs, with the remainder of kings on Manetho's list representing "calendric star kings", who were given a stellar realm but who did not serve as pharaoh.

		It is certainly related to the ceremonial enclosures that were erected near the royal burial grounds of the kings of Egypt's early dynasties at Abydos to house their mortuary cults.
		It was at Abydos that Khasekhemwy built another enclosure some three times larger than the Hierakonpolis fort to accompany his equally huge desert tomb.
		The discovery of this lavish internal structure suggests that the Fort is not a replica of a palace for use in the next world, but the real thing for use in his lifetime.

		When he returned from the campaign he is likely to have competed with the sitting ruler and probably took power more or less by force.

	Fixing the Fort at Hierakonpolis - EgyptSearch Forums
		It is certainly related to the ceremonial enclosures that were erected near the royal burial grounds of the kings of Egypt's early dynasties at Abydos to house their mortuary cults, but differs in many aspects.
		The standard explanation has been that during the shadowy and transitional period of the Second Dynasty Egypt was experiencing the first test of its unity, and in the second half of the dynasty the country was ruled by rival kings.
		Although none were decorated or in situ, the stone is identical to that of the decorated and inscribed lintel of Khasekhemwy discovered in 1934 near the Fort by Ambrose Lansing (of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York).

	Khasekhemwy -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Probably starting from a base at Hierakonpolis, in Upper Egypt, Khasekhemwy extended his control over the whole kingdom.
		One line may have become the 2nd dynasty, whose first king's Horus name, Hetepsekhemwy, means “peaceful in respect of the two powers” and may allude to the conclusion of strife between two factions or parts of the country, to the antagonistic gods Horus and Seth, or to both.
		There were links of kinship between Khasekhemwy and the 3rd dynasty, but the change between them is marked by a definitive shift of the royal burial place to Memphis.
