Abstract

According to the archaeological documents and historical resources, on which Ancient Egyptian history depended that the king QAj-a is the 8th and the last king of the 1st Dynasty. He may reign 26 years. The parents of the king QAj-a are unknown, but it is thought that either his predecessor aD-ib or smr-xt was his father, since it was tradition to leave the throne to the eldest son.The architectural buildings of the king were numerous in contemporary tombs, whether his tomb in Abydos, his tomb in Saqqara, tombs and monuments of the noble of his period. several stone vessel inscriptions and numerous ivory tablets dating to his reign also mention only typical arrangements, such as depicting and counting burial offerings and personal possessions of the king. Despite QAj-a's long and prosperous reign, evidence shows that after his death, a dynastic war between different royal houses began over the newly empty throne. The research aims to study the most important works of the king QAj-ain Ancient Egypt; study his most important monuments; shed light on the end of the first dynasty.
