Abstract

Due to extremely poor and difficult sources the history of the Egyptian 2. Dynasty (approx. 2850− 2700 bc) is in the dark just like the knowledge about the Gods worshipped at that time. Also the succession of kings and their government times are not secured. While in former times Egyptologists assumed that the veneration of the sun God Ra started in the 2nd dynasty this opinion has changed in the last 30 years: Only for the beginning of the 3. Dynasty a proof for the worshipping of Ra could be found. By studying so far unconsidered sources and by examination of already known material that has not been considered in this context the cult for the God Ra can now be secured for the first half of the 2. Dynasty and made be probable for the 1. Dynasty. Apart from the discussion of the sources Jochem Kahl uncovers the connections between the God Ra and the Egyptian writers and shows the possible consequences of these new facts for king theology and the political history of the 2. Dynasty.
