Nynetjer
Nynetjer (also known as Ninetjer and Banetjer) was the third pharaoh of the Second Dynasty of Egypt during the Early Dynastic Period, prior to the Old Kingdom period. The dates for his reign are uncertain. Egyptologists have proposed that it took place at some point between the late 29th and the early 27th century BC for 35 to 49 years, and most probably lasted around 40 years. Archaeologically, Nynetjer is the best-attested king of the early Second Dynasty and he is also recorded on several king lists dating to the Old Kingdom and the later Ramesside and Ptolemaic periods. There is strong evi
Nebra
Horus name of the second early Egyptian king of the 2nd dynasty
Seth-Peribsen
Seth-Peribsen (also known as Ash-Peribsen, Peribsen and Perabsen) is the serekh name of an early Egyptian monarch (pharaoh), who ruled during the Second Dynasty of Egypt ( 2890 – 2686 BC). His chronological position within this dynasty is unknown and it is disputed who ruled both before and after him. The duration of his reign is also unknown.
Senedj
Senedj (also known as Sened and Sethenes) was an early Egyptian king (pharaoh), who may have ruled during the 2nd Dynasty. His historical standing remains uncertain. His name is included in the kinglists of the Ramesside era, although it is written in different ways: While the Abydos King List imitates the archaic form, the Royal Canon of Turin and the Saqqara King List form the name with the hieroglyphic sign of a plucked goose.
Weneg
ancient Egyptian ruler
Sekhemib-Perenmaat
'''Sekhemib-Perenma'at (or simply Sekhemib'''), is the Horus name of an early Egyptian pharaoh who ruled during the 2nd Dynasty. Similar to his predecessor, successor, or co-ruler Seth-Peribsen, Sekhemib is well attested in contemporary, archaeological records, but does not appear in any posthumous documentation. The exact length of his reign is unknown, and his burial site has yet to be identified.
Neferkara I
ancient Egyptian ruler
Neferkasokar
Neferkasokar (Ancient Egyptian Nefer-Ka-Seker; which means “beautiful soul of Sokar” or “the soul of Sokar is perfect”) is the cartouche name of a king (pharaoh) who is said to have ruled during the 2nd Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Very little is known about him, since no contemporary records about him have been found. Rather his name has been found in later sources.
Hudjefa I
Egyptian pharaoh whose name was illegible by the time of the 19. dynasty already
Nubnefer
Nubnefer is the birth name of a king (pharaoh) who may have ruled during the 2nd Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. The exact length of his reign is unknown and his chronological position is unclear.
Wadjenes
Wadjenes (ancient Egyptian Wadj-nes, which means "fresh of tongue"), also known as Wadjlas, Ougotlas and Tlas, was an early Egyptian king who may have ruled during the 2nd Dynasty. Since the name form "Wadjenes" is not contemporarily attested as the name of a king, but frequently appears in Ramesside kinglists, Egyptologists to this day are trying to connect Wadjenes with contemporary Horus-kings.
