Djoser (Netjerikhet)
Netjerikhet ("divine of body") ruled ancient Eypt at the beginning of the third dynasty (Old Kingdom). He is usually referred to as Djoser (Zozer or Djeser). However, this may have been his birth name, and it only appears in later records. During his reign he was called Netjerikhet, and the name Djoser was only added to his step pyramid complex during the new kingdom. His two names are recorded together in a stelae found on the isle of Sele, in Aswan. However, the stelae was a Ptolemaic forgery alleging that the surrounding area was granted to the temple by the Pharoah.
