Topic: Raneb


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  Raneb
Manetho also claims that he introduced the worship of Mendes (the sacred goat) and began the bull cults of the Mnevis in Heliopolis, and the Apis in Memphis.
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.
Sealings from Raneb´s reign were found near the pyramid of Unas, and a granite stelea with his name in a serekh was discovered in Abydos.

 Raneb
Raneb, the second king in the 2nd Dynasty, ruled Egypt after overthrowing his brother.
In his reign the bulls, Apis at Memohis and Mnevis at Heliopolis, and the Mendesian goat were worshipped as gods.
It is thought that Raneb was buried at Saqqara.

 Raneb (Nebra), The 2nd King of Egypt's 2nd Dynasty
Raneb, which was probably this king's birth name, means "Re is the Lord", but many believe, because there seems to have been no specific mention of the god Re prior to this time, that it should more appropriately be read as Nebra, meaning "Lord of the Sun".
However, scholars now appear to believe that the cult of the Apis bull was established by a former king, which is attested on a stele dating from the rule of Den (Udimu).
Raneb was succeeded by Ninetjer (Nynetjer), though once again, we have no real information on this latter king's relationship to Raneb.

 Dynasty 2
It has been suggested that the name is an indication of settling of political strife that occurred in the 1st Dynasty.
Raneb followed Hotepsekhemwy to the throne of Egypt, and was reputed to have ruled for 39 years.
Raneb had, according to Manetho, initiated the worship of the sacred goat of Mendes.

 Raneb
Raneb was according to Manetho the successor of Hotepsekhemwy, the second king of the second Dynasty and ruled for 39 years.
If Manetho is to be believed, Raneb founded both the cult of the sacred goat at Mendes and the sacred bull of Mnevis at Heliopolis, as well as the the Apis bull at Memphis, though the later nowadays is ascribed to an earlier king.
Raneb is the first of the Egyptian kings to combine his name with the sun-god Re´s.

 Dynasty 2 - Hotepsekhemwy, Reneb, Ninetjer, Ninetjer, Peribsen, Khasekhemwy
There is little information about Raneb, his reign is important to us because of its chronological position during the Egyptian empire's formative years.
In fact, some scholars seem to believe that Raneb's reign and that of his predecessor, Hotepsekhemwy, should together be 38 or 39 years, with both therefore having shorter reigns then provided by Manetho.
Irregardless, it would seem that his name, whether stated as Raneb or Nebra, indicates a significant shift of worship to the sun god, which would have a very important impact on much of Egypt's remaining history.

The second king of the Second Dynasty, Raneb succeeded Hotepsekhemwy, the dynasty's founder.
Raneb is the first king of Egypt to have a name compounded with that of the solar god, Re.
It is possible that Raneb was buried at Saqqara and that his tomb is concealed under later constructions.

 Government of Ptah
The first ‘Government’ was established by Pharaoh Raneb (2nd Dynasty), who created a governing body of advisors from each of the 24 Sorkarnen clans that Hwt-Ka brought together when he came to power.
When Pharaoh Amenhotep IV (18th Dynasty) brought his seat of power back to the traditional home of Hwt-Ka-Ptah, he refined Raneb’s initial concept into the political force it is today.
The House is balanced at a membership of 24 Lords and one Senator as the Leader of the House.

 Ancient Egypt - Abydos; the Early Kings, Narmer, Scorion, Menes, Djer,Den, Djet.
The three first rulers, Hotepsekhemwy, Raneb and NyNetjer, are know to us from an inscription at the back of a statue of the priest Hotep-dif from the 3rd Dynasty, who apparently took care of the cult of these three kings.
Apart from the above-mentioned statue of Hotep-dif, some sealings with his name found att Saqqara near the pyramid of Unas might indicate that his tomb there is yet to be found, but this is all there is sofar.
His name within the serekh on a stele is found at Abydos and apart from that, likewise a few sealings found at Saqqara in the same area as his predecessor, are the only tell-tale signs of his existence.

 Sorry, but I must leave - Message Board - ezboard.com
After having the charter read to me by Raneb yesterday, I now understand that he will not be able to attend raids with me and that if he joins another guild, I will not be allowed to attend raids with him.
I understand your reasoning to a certain extent, but to be honest, he means so much more to me than any guild ever could, that not being able to play with him is unacceptable.
It is thrue that our charter is not in english, and Raneb has been kind enough to translate it for you (thanks for this Raneb btw).

 The Pyramid of Unas - Crystalinks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Excavating teams have recently discovered a shaft which is probably the tomb of one of the later Persian invaders.
West of the pyramid lies a grave that could probably hold the dead bodies of two second-dynasty pharaohs, namely Hor Hetepsechemui and Hor Raneb.
The walls of the causeway that connects the mortuary temple and the valley temple hold relief carvings which show scenes such as the transport of granite stones from Aswan, the making of pottery and the production of 'Electron,' the famous alloy of gold and silver.

As for how it is pronounced, we have no idea and probably won't find out unless there is a bilingual text that mentions his name.
In the Nile Currents section of KMT Spring 1997 it is reported that carvings have been found with the names of both Rameses II and a General Nebre.

 The Early Dynastic
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 that was only temporarily halted by the Pharaoh Raneb, also called
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.

 Baphomet
I would like to start off by citing the work of Laurence Gardener for a bit of a history lesson.
"...It was King Raneb, the second pharaoh of the dynasty (the 1st dynasty of Egypt) who first introduced the veneration of the Goat of Mendes into Egypt.
This is especially relevant because in both the Grail and Dragon traditions, the Goat of Mendes has always been directly associated with Nimrod's grandfather Ham.

Egyptian kings: Nebre, Nebra, Reneb, Raneb, Kakau, Kaiekhos
Nebre is yet another ruler who had a long reign (39 years according to Manetho) but has rather few remains telling us about his deeds in the Nile Valley.
In the serek left we see the sun as a red circle and the basket NEB meaning "master" and "everything".
