Summary
[edit]DescriptionKhasekhemwy, name inscribed on door jamb.jpg |
English: Detail of granite door jamb bearing the horus and seth name of Khasekhemuy in Nekhen (Hierakonpolis), Egyptian Museum Cairo.
Everything suggests that after winning a crushing defeat on his enemies, the Horus Khasekhem changed its name to Khasekhemuy and dedicated a temple to the god Horus in the city of Nekhen (Hierakonpolis). The Palermo Stone (written in the mid-V th Dynasty) informs us that the king Khasekhemuy, undertook the construction of a stone temple during his rule. The simple fact that this remarkable document stipulates that it was a stone building is already clear evidence that such stone buildings, must be quite rare in this early period. The large fragment of this door, from Hierakonpolis, seems to have belonged to that same sanctuary that speaks the Annals of the Palermo Stone. For the variant of the name of King, seen here written, it appears that the building itself was built after the pacification of the country struggles. In the front of the door, covering up and down the jamb is carved in relief three times the full name of King Khasekhemuy Nebuwy-hetep-WeneF. This appears locked in a protected serekh wide figures pacified the gods Horus and Seth. This large carved granite door, was originally found attached to an adobe wall. At present, the mighty fragment of it has reached us, is considered the greatest achievement of tinita period, in regard to stone carving. Undoubtedly she is the forerunner of the pyramid that King Neterykhet Djeser. Egyptian Museum, Cairo. bibliography: Quibell, J. E. P.6 Hierakonpolis I, pl. II |
