Sekhemkhet

2800 BC - 2700 BC

Sekhemkhet

Sekhemkhet (also read as Sechemchet) was an ancient Egyptian king (pharaoh) of the 3rd Dynasty during the Old Kingdom. His reign is thought to have been from about 2648 BC until 2640 BC. He is also known under his later traditioned birth name Djoser-teti and under his Hellenized name Tyreis (by Manetho; derived from Teti in the Abydos King List). Sekhemkhet was probably the brother or eldest son of king Djoser. Little is known about this king, since he ruled for only a few years. Read more on Wikipedia

Sekhemkhet is most famous for his pyramid, which is the smallest of the three pyramids at Dahshur.
