Shunet ez Zebib, fort of Nekhen,[2] Gisr el-Mudir ?
Dynasty
2nd Dynasty
Khasekhemwy (ca. 2690 BC; Ḫꜥj-sḫm.wj, also rendered Kha-sekhemui) was the last Pharaoh of the Second Dynasty of Egypt. Little is known about him, other than that he led several significant military campaigns and built the mudbrick fort known as Shunet El Zebib.
His Horus name Ḫꜥj-sḫm.wj can be interpreted "The Two Powerful Ones Appear",[3] but the name is recorded in many variants, such as
Ḥr-Ḫꜥj-sḫm(Horus, he whose power appears)", ḫꜥj sḫm.wj ḫtp nṯrwj jm=f(the two powers appear in that the ancestors rest within him)"(etc.)[4][a]
