Golden names before Sneferu
Article reads: "The only kings before king Snefru (founder of the 4th dynasty), that wore definitively a gold name, were Djer, Den, Nynetjer, Khasekhemwy and Djoser." What's the evidence that any of these rulers had such a name? --WANAX (talk) 00:24, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Seal impressions and bowl inscriptions. The goldnames are as following:
 * Hor Djer = Nj-nwb ("the golden one") → to be found on the Cairo stone and on two seal impressions from Abydos
 * Hor Den = Jaret-nwb ("golden uraeus") → to be found on ivory tags and one stone bowl from his tomb
 * Hor Nynetjer = Ren-nwb ("golden calf") → to be found on the Palermo stone and on two stone bowls from Saqqara
 * Hor-Seth Khasekhemwy = Senubkhet ("his body is golden"); second form: Senubkhet-Nebty ("the bodies of the Two Ladies are golden") → to be found on countless seal impressions and stone bowl inscriptions
 * Hor Netjerikhet = Râ-nwb ("golden sun") → to be found on his famous statue and in several reliefs
 * Hor Khaba = Netjer-nwb ("golden falcon") → to be found on two seal impressions

Thank you for a detailed response. I was not even aware that such term as "gold name" exists. I suppose this is a predecessor for the better known "golden horus name"?

If you don't mind, I have another thing too that needs clarification :). You wrote: "Khaba's gold name is the first to show the infinite form of the royal gold name"

What is an "infinite form" Cheers,--WANAX (talk) 11:20, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi. Yes, the "gold name" is the forerunner of the golden-horus-name. Stadelmann and Wilkinson think that Khaba was the first who turned the goldname into the fix form of the golden-horus-name. I should edit the sentence to make the backgrounds more clear. Regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 11:35, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
