Years: 2937BCE - 2926BCE
Den’s successor Anedjib—whose name means Safe is His Heart—(also known as Enezib or Andjyeb), is little known and fairly obscure from the monumental records; the small number of attestations for this king and the small size of this king's tomb indicate a brief reign.
As Den had enjoyed a reign of nearly thirty years, Anedjib may have elderly when he assumed power.
Contemporary records suggest that he ruled Egypt during a time of instability and internal conflict; he is forced to put down several uprisings in Lower Egypt.
His tomb at Umm el-Qa'ab, the royal necropolis, is the smallest and most inferior of all the First Dynasty tombs there; his burial chamber, built entirely of wood rather than stone, is of poor construction quality.
