Djer (Iti)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Djer, the second king during the 1st Dynasty, maintained his capital at Memphis. He was the son of Aha and one of his lesser ranked wives, a woman named Hent. Djer built a palace at Memphis where he ruled Egypt from for fifty years. He also launched a successful military campaign to fight the Hekssus in Sinai. His name was found in an inscription at Wadi Halfa, south of the first Cataract, thereby helping to prove the boundaries of his reign. Djer's Great Royal Wife was Queen Herneith. He was probably buried in a mortuary complex at Abydos which is called the True Grave of the god Osiris.
