Double Falcon (also possibly Dju and Nebwy) was a Predynastic pharaoh of Lower Egypt belonging to Dynasty 0. He may have reigned during the 32nd century BCE. The length of his reign is unknown. == Attestation == It was in 1910 that egyptologist M. J. Clédat discovered the first evidence for king Double Falcon. Clédat was excavating the site of el-Mehemdiah in the north-eastern delta when a peasant brought him a jar and some incised fragments that he had uncovered during the planting of a palm-grove in nearby el-Beda. Investigating the site, Clédat soon discovered four serekhs of king Double Falcon.〔M. J. Cledat, ''Les vases de el-Beda'', ASAE 13 (1914), pp. 115-121〕〔Kaiser-Dreyer, in: Mitteilungen des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, Abteilung Kairo. (MDAIK) 38 (1982), Deutsches Archäologisches Institut, Orient-Abteilung, p. 9.〕 The next attestation of Double Falcon was discovered in 1912 during excavations by Hermann Junker on the site of Tura, where a tomb yielded a complete jar bearing a serekh topped by two falcons. More recently, serekhs of king Double Falcon have been found in the Sinai,〔Günter Dreyer, ''Ein Gefäss mit Ritzmarke des Narmer'', in: MDAIK 55, (1999), pp. 1–6〕 in Tell Ibrahim Awad in the eastern delta,〔E. C. M. van den Brink, ''Pottery-incised Serekh-Signs of Dynasties 0–1, Part II: Fragments and Additional Complete Vessels'', in: Archéo-Nil 11, 2001〕 in Adaima and Abydos in Upper Egypt,〔Eva-Maria Engel: ''Ein weiterer Beleg für den Doppelfalken auf einem Serech'', Bulletin of the Egyptian Museum, 2 (2005), pp. 65-69.〕 and in the Palmahim quarry in southern Israel.〔〔 The concentration of Double Falcon's serekhs in Lower Egypt and the north-western Sinai indicates that his rule may have been limited to these regions. Nonetheless, the wider geographic presence of his serekhs, notably in Upper Egypt and Canaan, suggests that the long-distance authority of Dynasty 0 kings had already commenced towards the end of the Naqada III period, be it through trading or warfare.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Double Falcon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
