His predecessor Sanakhte, who may have been his brother, ruled for 18 years and founded their dynasty following the death of Khasekhemwy. He was succeeded by Sekhemkhet, Khaba, and Huni, whose death ended the Third Dynasty. Known in his own time as Netjerikhet, he seems to have extended his rule as far south as Aswan, though he is best known for a structure that features the mysterious Houses of the North and South, as well as the South Tomb. For ten points, name this pharoah who was buried in Saqqara's Step Pyramid, designed by his architect Imhotep.
