Djet was the third king of the1st
Dynasty. A limestone stela (shown above - now in Louvre in Paris, but
originally from his mortuary complex at Abydos) attests his "Horus Name".
The only other place that Egyptologists found a reference to him was in an
inscription near the city of Edfu, to the south of Egypt. His Great Royal
Wife was Queen Mereneith, who acted as mentor and advisor for his
successor, King Den.
