2nd Dynasty
The fifth king of the 2nd Dynasty was probably
responsible for the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt.
Not much
is known about him, save the fact that he undertook massive military
campaigns. A statue of him which resides
in the Cairo Museum,
demonstrates the first use of hard stone work during this period. He
is responsible for the
construction of a large granite door jamb
within the temple of Hierakonpolis, and for the building of many of
the
mortuary complexes at both
Saqqara and Abydos.
