Kheneres

The statue of Kheneres

 Kheneres was the net ruler of the Second Dynasty, the actual unifier of Egypt He dominated c. 2640 and was addressed Kheneres by Manetho, the Ptolemaic historian. Khasekhemwy is accredited with the actual completion of Egypts merger, changing his name from Khasekhem to Khasekhemwy as a result. His name after the unification meant the Two Kingdoms Are at Peace in Him.

The task was not an open one, and his three-decennary rule was  turbulent. He might not have been the direct heir to Peribsen. The names of the kings Sendji, Neterka, and Neferkara seem as  interlopers in some king lists, or they may have been the rebels close by Khasekhemwy.  He  is  showed  as  campaigning  in Dendereh, Minya, Elkab, the Faiyum, and in some northern regions that risen  against his rule. The bases of  his statuary  announced  that 47,209 rebels died in battle. Another rock vase records: Year of Fighting the Northern foe.

Khasekhemwys consort was Nimaathap (Hapnimaat or Nemaathop), and she was indicated as King bearer, being the mother belike of Nebka and Djoser. His mortuary complex at Abydos is named Shunet el-Zabib, the Storehouse of Dates. A rectangular mud-brick structure closed by thick walls, the tomb was raised with paneled  walls.  His  second  tomb  in  Hierakonpolis was actually a fortress that was gave. The Abydos site has  a  central  corridor  first  onto 33 magazines on either incline of a burial chamber of limestone. Vast amounts of tools, vessels, beads, sealings, and gold were learned there. A scepter of gold and sard was likewise saw there.
