Djet

Only one Seker festival is attested by ivory labels dating to his reign, whose duration is estimated to be anywhere between six and ten years.

However, finds of vessel fragments and seal impressions prove that there were intense trading activities with Syria and Canaan at the time.

[6] Finally, in Marsa Alam in Nubia, the short inscription "Hemka" below "Djet" was discovered.

[7] Clay seals prove that the official Amka begun his career under King Djer, as manager of the "Hor-sekhenti-dju" estate.

In the early years of the king's successor Amka died after he was appointed to regional responsibilities in the western Nile Delta.

Djet owes his fame to the survival, in well-preserved form, of one of his artistically refined tomb steles.

It is carved in relief with Djet's Horus name, and shows that the distinct Egyptian style had already become fully developed at that time.

Another artistic landmark dated to Djet's reign is his ivory comb [11] now housed in the Egyptian Museum.
