King Khasekhemwy |
Egypt's last pharaoh of the Second Dynasty was King Khasekhemwy. Apart from building the mudbrick fort known as Shunet El Zebib and leading several noteworthy military campaigns.
Although better known than his immediate predecessors, even in his case there are doubts as to whether the name indicates a single ruler or two. Some serekh from the Horus Khasekhem and others from the Horus-Seth Kashekhemwy come from the findings that took place above all in Abydos.
Khasekhemwy, also known as Khasekhemui, was Egypt's sixth and final pharaoh during the second dynasty (c. 2775–c. 2650 BCE), and he is thought to have put an end to the internal strife of the period.
The location of this ruler in the sequence is unclear. Keeping in mind that the last ruler of the second dynasty is remembered for his military campaigns, especially in northern Egypt, and that the union of the Nebouy-Hotep-time with the official name can be made like Horus and Seth Khasekhemui, the Two Lords are at peace with him it is possible to consider that this king has reunited the two lands again of Lower and Upper Egypt after a period of division.
Pharaohs of Egypt
We can then assume this situation. Peribsen and Khasekhemwy reigned at the same time on the two parts of Egypt, Khasekhem (or his successor) unified the country again and changed its name by adding the name of Seth to the title in a sign of peace.
The tomb of Khasekhemwy was unique in its size and shape. It was trapezoidal and 70 meters long. The stone burial chamber was looted in ancient times, but the robbers missed an elegant scepter of gold and sard.
During his reign, a state of stability prevailed due to the decree he issued. Khasekhemwy put an end to the widespread political disputes during his reign. Egypt witnessed a great development in Arts and architecture in its time, taking a leap to move from a late era to an advanced era. He led many important military campaigns and built many statues in Egypt.
