Sekhemkhet (also read as Sechemchet) was an ancient Egyptian king (pharaoh) of 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-tety and under his Hellenized name Tyreis (by Manetho; derived from Teti in the Abydos king list). He was probably the brother or eldest son of king Djoser. Little is known about this king, since he ruled for only a few years. However, he erected a step pyramid at Saqqara and left behind a well known rock inscription at Wadi Maghareh (Sinai Peninsula).
The duration of Sekhemkhet's reign is believed to have been 6 to 7 years. The royal Turin Canon attributes 6 years of reign to Sekhemkhet, a figure also proposed by Myriam Wissa based on the unfinished state of Sekhemkhet's pyramid. Using his reconstruction of the Palermo Stone (5th dynasty), Toby Wilkinson assigns 7 years to this king. This figure is based on the number of year registers preserved in Cairo Fragment I, register V. Wilkinson states that "this figure is fairly certain, since the [king's] titulary begins immediately after the dividing line marking the change of reign.". Similarly, the Greek historian Manetho lists Sekhemkhet under the name of Tyreis and indicates that he reigned for 7 years. Nabil Swelim, by contrast, proposed a reign of 19 years, because he believed that Sekhemkhet might be the Tosertasis mentioned by Manetho. However, such a long reign is at odds with the unfinished state of the buried pyramid and this view is generally rejected by Egyptologists.

( http://heritage-key.com/blogs/ann/tale-about-egyptian-archaeologist-zakaria-goneim-and-discovery-sekhemkhets-buried-pyramid ) Dr Zahi Hawass explains the discovery of "The Unfinished Pyramid" of Sekhemkhet, Saqqara, by Egyptologist Zakaria Goneim. He tells us the story of a Goneim who found twenty gold bracelets and beads, and then excavated a sealed sarcophagus, adorned in funerary wreaths. In front of state officials and the world's media, Goneim opened the sarcophagus to reveal that it was completely empty. Despite this, Goneim went on to lecture around the United States and published a successful book about the discovery - "The Buried Pyramid". However, back at home things were turning against Goneim as a conspiracy to bring about his downfall began.

Imhotep (por vezes grafado Immutef, Im-hotep ou Ii-em-Hotep; em egípcio: ii-m-ḥtp *jā-im-ḥatāp, lit. "aquele que vem em paz"; chamado pelos gregos de Ιμυθες, transl.

Saqqara is a vast, ancient burial ground in Egypt, serving as the necropolis for the Ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis.Saqqara features numerous pyramids, including the world famous Step pyramid of Djoser, sometimes referred to as the Step Tomb due to its rectangular base, as well as a number of mastabas (Arabic word meaning 'bench'). Located some 30 km (19 mi) south of modern-day Cairo, Saqqara covers an area of around 7 by 1.5 km (4.35 by 0.93 mi). At Saqqara, the oldest complete stone building complex known in history was built: Djoser's step pyramid, built during the Third Dynasty. Another 16 Egyptian kings built pyramids at Saqqara, which are now in various states of preservation or dilapidation. High officials added private funeral monuments to this necropolis during the entire pha...

The issue of this video is the same of pyramid'orion2: it's longer because it has a second part in which you will find some overwhelming precessional and lunar diagrams of Altamira, Chauvet, and Nerja: this Paleolithic diagrams have a deep likeness with one you can recognized in a Sekhemkhet engraving.The theme of the video is Tartini's Devil Trill.
Al contemplar semejantes estructuras la principal pregunta que nos hacemos es esta: ¿Cuál fue la verdadera finalidad de las pirámides? ¿Fueron tumbas? ¿Fueron lugares de ceremonia, como la de heb sed?. Si eran tumbas, ¿cómo se justifica que no hayan aparecido momias en prácticamente ninguna de las pirámides de Egipto. Algunas de ellas como la de Sekhemkhet tenían sus sellos intactos. ¿Cómo se puede explicar esto? Hay teorías que dicen que Keops fue solo el usurpador de una estructura muy anterior a su época que fue construida por una civilización con tecnología muy superior a la de los egipcios y que vivieron hace 10.000 años. Otros datos afianzan esta teoría como la erosión de la esfinge que parece estar originada por lluvias torrenciales, que no se producen en la zona en los últimos 10...
TETI'S PYRAMID *SAQQARA XIV *Northeastern Monuments: Teti, was the first king of the VIth Dynasty, he chose to build his pyramid and adjourning complex to the North-East of the pyramid of Userkaf, and at the Southern end of the Archaic Tombs located at Saqqara-North.In choosing this location, Teti may have deliberately opted to build his pyramid along the diagonal formed by the pyramids of Sekhemkhet, Unas, Djoser and Userkaf (from South-West to North-East), thereby confirming his allegiance to Egypt's past. The pyramid of Teti was constructed at North Saqqara on the only remaining spot, south of the 1st and 2nd Dynasty mastabas and to the northeast of the pyramid of Userkaf. By this time, the layout of the complex, both inside and outside, had become almost standardised, though the chapel...
