Hor-Aha : The Fighting Hawk

"The commonly used name Hor-Aha is a rendering of the pharaoh's

Horus-name, an element of the royal titulary associated with the god Horus, and is more fully given as Horus-Aha meaning Horus the Fighter. Hor Aha (aka Aha or Horus Aha,”Fighting Hawk”).

A label dated to the reign of Horus Aha records a military campaign of this king against Ta-Seti, the land south of Egypt, Nubia. Human Sacrifice also seems to have been carried out during his reign with a label from Abydos label showing this which has been associated with the fashioning of the imi-wt fetish. A kneeling figure is shown, with a figure of authority behind him. A prisoner is in front of the kneeling figure, a knife being plunged into him while his hands are tied. A bowl is between them to collect the blood.

Hor-Aha seems to have conducted many religious activities. A visit to a shrine of the goddess Neith is recorded on several tablets from his reign...the oldest mastaba at the North Saqqara necropolis of Memphis dates to his reign. The mastaba belongs to an elite member of the administration who may have been a relative of Hor-Aha....The tomb of Hor-Aha is located in the necropolis of the kings of the 1st Dynasty at Abydos, known as the Umm el-Qa'ab. It comprises three large chambers (designated B10, B15, and B19), which are directly adjacent to Narmer's tomb.

Hor-Aha's chief wife was Benerib, whose name was written alongside his on a number of [historical] pieces, in particular, from tomb B14 at Abydos, Egypt.

Hor-Aha also had another wife, Khenthap, with whom he became father of Djer. She is mentioned as Djer's mother on the Cairo Annals Stone.

Hor-Aha's mother is believed to be Neithhotep. She is also believed to be wife of the late Narmer and possibly remarries one of Hor-Aha's top three Grand Viziers by the name of Rekhit after the death of Narmer. The massive Naqada tomb Neithhotep was believed to be buried has 10 inscriptions of her in it."
