Hotepsekhemwy
 Hotepsekhemwy, (in Greek known as Boethos), was the first king of the Second dynasty of Egypt. His name means "the two powers are at peace". Little is known about his reign.
  It is possible that Pharaoh Hotepsekhemwy reached office by marriage to a princess. Thus we do not know if he was related to the old Thinite line of rulers or not. He is not thought to be the son of Pharaoh Qa'a, but possibly his son-in-law. Regardless, he made offerings in memory of the man and was possibly responsible for Qa'a's funeral.

Sealings with the name of "Hotepsekhemwy" have been found outside the tomb of Qa'a at Abydos.
His tomb has been identified in Saqqara; the substructure has survived but there are no remains of a superstructure.
 
  Raneb 
 Raneb was a pharaoh during the Second dynasty of Egypt. Manetho states that he ruled Egypt for 39 years but such a high figure cannot be confirmed from the few contemporary objects known from his reign. Some books also call him Nebre.

His name actually came from the name of the god Ra, also sometimes written Re, thus giving his name a meaning 'The Son of Ra'.
  Nynetjer  Nynetjer or Ninetjer was the third king of the Second dynasty of Egypt. He is mentioned on the Palermo Stone and is known from mud sealings found in an underground gallery at Saqqara which may have also been his tomb. There are numerous objects from his reign which is believed to have been fairly long and prosperous.
  Wneg   Wneg was a pharaoh during the Second dynasty of Egypt who ruled for eight years.
Also called: Weneg - Wneg - Uneg - Wadjnes - Horus Za - Horus Sa - Wnegsekhemwy
