Djer...



Djer (Hor Djer "Horus who succours") ruled ancient Egypt during the first dynasty (Early Dynastic Period). Djer was probablyManetho's "Athothis". Manetho estimated that Djer's reign lasted 31-39 years, but inscriptions on the Palermo stone suggest that he actually ruled for about 57 years. Manetho describes him as a scholar and claims that an anatomy textbook written by this ancient Egyptian king was still in use in Greek times.
