Qa´a

Qa'a
Qa'as name on a stele

Qa´a ("His arm is raised") may have been responsible for ceasing the practice of satellite sacrificial burial. Manetho names the last king of the dynasty Bieneches, which hardly resembles Qa´a, and states that he reigned for 26 years. A limestone stelea (now in the Louvre) found in his tomb shows the king wearing the White Crown while being embraced by Horus. His name appears in a serekh, and the White Crown forms part of the name. It has been suggested that this signaled the victory of the South in a struggle for power in the united Egypt.
