King Zoser

His reign
His reign
The statue of Zoser The pharaoh Mantho Manetho mentioned that Zoser was ruled for 29 years (2640 BC - 2611 BC), while the Turin papyrus states that his reign lasted only 19 years (2630 BC - 2611 BC). However, many current historians mention That the period of wisdom extended for 29 years because of the magnitude of its construction work. Thus, the difference of years between the two numbers may mean that Zoser is himself the first Pharaoh in the third family.
He has an engraving in an Aswan island, recounting the famine that occurred in his reign due to the lack of flood of the Nile, where Zuser gave the offerings to Khannum the idol of the waterfall. He stated the following:
My heart was in a painful tightness, because the Nile had not gone away for seven years. The grains were not plentiful, the seeds dried up, everything the individual had to eat was in pathetic quantities, everyone deprived of harvest. No one can walk more; the hearts of old people were sad and their legs bent when they sat on the ground, and their hands hid away. So the temples were served, the temples were closed and the shelters were covered with dust. In short, everything in existence is injured
The reply comes from Khenum according to the inscription:
I will make the Nile rise for you. There will be no more years when the immersion fails to cover any area of the earth. The flowers are stucco, and their trunks are bent under the weight of pollen
King Zoser is considered one of the most powerful kings of Zein. He ruled Egypt, and the title of the architect was decorated with a number of titles, including the palace and the tombs of the Greeks. They considered him the god of medicine and healing due to the strength of his knowledge of medicine.
