DJET

'Djet', also known as 'Wadj', 'Zet' and 'Uadji' (in Greek possibly the king known as 'Uenephes'), c. 2920 BC, was the third Egyptian king of the first dynasty. His name means serpent.
Little is known about his reign, but he has become famous because of his tomb stela. It is decorated with Djet's Horus name, and shows that the distinct Egyptian style had already become fully developed. His reign was listed in the lost or destroyed sections of the Palermo Stone.
