(reigned c. 3000 BC)
Fourth king of Dynasty 1. Successor of Djer. His tomb has been excavated atAbydos, and among the finds was a finely carved stela with the royal name written as a serpent, now in the Louvre Museum. His son and successor, Den, may have been a child upon his accession, as Djer’s wife, Merneith, appears to have acted as regent.
