Other names of king Djoser was Netjerykhetranub, Sensen and Senwy (according to Swelim). He was the most outstanding pharaoh in the Old Kingdom and perhaps in the entire Egyptian history.
He concentrated the power to the capital Mamphis and abandoned the old royal cemetery in Abydosin the south. With him started a whole new era in human history when his and chief architect, prime minister (and son?) among other things - Imhotep, constructed the first monumental building in hist- ory made of hewn stone, the still standing Step pyramid at Sakkara just south of today's Cairo.
Lots of genial inventions came to light during his reign, many of them with no need to ever be im- proved. Imhotep was later considered the god of medicine, and was venerated for over 2.000 years.
Djoser was probably an youger brother brother to his predeseccor king Sanakht.
