[td]*As several king lists survive, why is Nynetjer's successor not known?[/td] [td]:::This is explained in the "End of Reign" and "Succession" sections. All king lists agree that he was succeeded by a certain Wadjenes, but: 1) this king is not attested at all archeologically, not even by a faint trace; 2) there is strong evidence of conflict engulfing Egypt at the time; 3) these king lists were written over 1300 years after Nynetjer's death; and 4) several completely obscure rulers are attested archeologically after Nynetjer but it is not even clear who is who (they bore several names....). All in all, the mid Second Dynasty is one of the least known period of the history of ancient Egypt.[[User:Iry-Hor|Iry-Hor]] ([[User talk:Iry-Hor|talk]]) 07:24, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[/td]
