Its builder is unknown, but it may have been built by Khasekhemwy.
Among her titles were “one who sees Horus” (m33.t-ḥrw-) and “great of sceptre” (wr.t-ht=s), both common for important queens in this period, also, she was called “King's Daughter”, which means she was possibly a daughter of Djoser's predecessor Khasekhemwy, thus a sister or half-sister of her husband.
Consequently, Kaplony equated Horus Sa with njswt-bity Wr-Za-Khnwm, "The king of Upper and Lower Egypt, Wersakhnum" and credited him a reign of 2 months and 23 days during the interregnum between Khasekhemwy and Djoser.
These artifacts were found beneath the step pyramid in the eastern galeries of the necropolis of pharaoh Djoser (3rd dynasty) at Saqqara and in the great fort Shunet el-Zebib of king Khasekhemwy (end of 2nd dynasty) at Abydos.
The last Second Dynasty king Khasekhemwy was buried in his tomb at Abydos, but also built a funerary monument at Saqqara consisting of a large rectangular enclosure, known as Gisr el-Mudir.
One of the earliest royal sceptres was discovered in the tomb of Khasekhemwy in Abydos.
Save for the time of its last ruler Khasekhemwy, it marks one of the most obscure periods in ancient Egyptian history.
•
One important event possibly happened during the reign of Khasekhemwy: many Egyptologists read his name ("the Two Powers arise"), commemorating the union of the Upper and Lower Egypts.
The archaeological evidence shows that Khasekhemwy, the last ruler of the Second Dynasty, was succeeded by Djoser, who is usually attested by his Horus name Netjerikhet.
