Wadji, also known as Djet, was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled during the XNUMXst Dynasty. Successor to Djer, Ouadji is the fourth ruler of this dynasty. Information about his reign is limited, but archaeological discoveries and Egyptological studies have provided insight into this historical period.
Reign of Ouadji
Duration and significant events
Wadji's reign lasted about ten years, although the precise dating of this period remains uncertain. Information on the major events of his reign is scarce, but it is likely that Wadji continued the efforts of his predecessors to consolidate royal power and maintain the unity of Egypt.
Archaeological discoveries and Egyptological studies
Tomb of Wadji in Abydos
Ouadji's tomb was discovered in Abydos, in the necropolis of Umm el-Qa'ab, where other rulers of the First Dynasty are also buried. The tomb of Wadji is relatively small compared to that of Djer, but it contains funerary objects and inscriptions that have helped Egyptologists better understand this period.
Serek of Ouadji
The serekh of Wadji is an important symbol associated with this pharaoh. It is a representation of the royal name framed by a palace and surmounted by a falcon. This symbol was discovered on many objects and inscriptions associated with Ouadji, which made it possible to better know his reign.
Archaeologists and research
Several archaeologists and Egyptologists have studied finds related to Wadji, including Flinders Petrie, Émile Amélineau, and Günter Dreyer. Their work has contributed to a better understanding of the chronology of the First Dynasty and the role of Wadji in Egyptian history.
