  Khendjer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Khendjer was an Egyptian king (throne name: Userkare) of the 13th Dynasty.
The meaning of the name Khendjer is uncertain, although some authorities speculate that it may be Canaanite or Ugaritic in origin.
Khendjer is mainly known from his pyramid complex excavated by G. Jequier at Saqqara, and from inscriptions and movable objects bearing his name.

 Egyptian kings - Khendjer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Khendjer is noted in the Royal Canon of Turin as king number sixteen, but local kings ruling simultaneously may have been noted.
The duration of is reign is not visible in the papyrus, but considering what had been done to finish the pyramid he started for himself, a fair guess would be a reign of about four to five years.
His unusual personal name Khendjer (meaning "boar"), has made some scholars speculate about his origin spanning from him being an immigrant from Syria to a military commander over foreign troops serving in Egypt, or possibly both.

This was in the reign of Khendjer, the bearer of a Nomen of outlandish appearance and possibly of foreign origin.
Now Jequier in 1931 identified a small pyramid at Saqqara as belonging to a King Khendjer, who unfortunately bore a Prenomen different from that on the Louvre stela.
The Saqqara Khendjer is listed with certainty in the Turin Canon and if, as is believed, Sobekhotep III was intended by the entry four places farther on we might have the strange phenomenon of a single vizier holding office during the reigns of five ephemeral and possibly hostile monarchs.

Khendjer was long dead, but the crime committed against him was not forgotten or forgiven by Senusret III.
His newly acquired kingly prerogative was exploited in order to repay Khendjer in kind for his cruelty to inferiors.
Khendjer was a son of the late Amenemhet II (Mahalalel-Judah), and possibly his most favored son.  He may have been considered by many as the rightful heir of the greater throne of Egypt upon his father's death.  The blinding of Khendjer was the type of offense that could and probably did lead to civil war.

Southwest of Khendjer's pyramid at South Saqqara is found the substructure for an unfinished pyramid that was discovered by Jequier, though not much else remains.
Most pyramids in Egypt are so stylized within any given period that we can at least guess who the owner was, but this structure represents one of the very few that leave us with almost no hints of its builder.
This pyramid does provide us with evidence of at least the general time frame of its construction, and seems to have been built about the same time as Khendjer's pyramid.

Amenemhet III’s pyramid at Hawara was the last of the great pyramids to be finished.
The pyramids of his 13th Dynasty successors, such as Khendjer, today only rise a few meters and only a few survive in recognizable form at all.
Like so many aspects of Egyptian funerary practices, the pyramid didn’t die but rather evolved into the small saff tombs (with a portico carved into the mountain) of the 17th Dynasty Theban rulers.

 Tomb of Djer, and later, the Tomb of Osiris at Abydos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
To give Amelineau some credit, a second excavation of the Djer tomb revealed that it had been modified in antiquity to serve as a Tomb of Osiris.
The Osiris Bed, which was studied by the English Egyptologist Anthony Leahy, was dedicated by King Khendjer of the 13th Dynasty, and an entrance staircase had been added for the convenience of pilgrims to the site.
Hence, King Khendjer, who ruled soon after King Wagaf, adorned the tomb with the fine basalt image of the recumbent god discovered by Emile Amelineau and Neferhotep I, who was Khendjer's fourth successor to the throne and a fairly prominent ruler for the 13th Dynasty, usurped the four Stelae erected by King Wagaf.
