Khasekhemui was remembered throughout Egyptian history as a wise and compassionate ruler. He was said to be of gigantic stature; certainly his reputation and the benign shadow which he cast over subsequent generations of kings suggests a man of more than ordinary powers. He was revered as the ancestor of the remarkable Third Dynasty of kings, which was to succeed him, probably the consequence of the marriage of his daughter to the first king of the dynasty. From this alliance was to stem the flowering of the richest period of Egypt’s history.

The Archaic kings ruled Egypt for nearly five hundred years. In the two dynasties which comprise the Archaic period, altogether seventeen kings are known. From the work of so limited a number of men the whole splendid history of Egypt was to unfold.
