Question

In 2017, researchers at the University of Zurich argued that one of this ruler’s successors possibly his brother may suffer from the world’s oldest known case of gigantism. A complex built by this ruler was influenced by a “Middle Fort” built by his predecessor, who was the last to be buried at Abydos (“uh-BYE-dohss”). The world’s first dentist may have worked under this ruler, whose serdab (“ser-DAHB”) is the oldest known life-sized Egyptian statue. (-5[1])An official of this pharaoh communes with the god Khnum to stop a seven-year (10[1])flood, (10[1])as recorded on the Famine Stela. That official built this (10[1])ruler’s tomb by stacking (10[2])a series (10[2]-5[1])of (10[1])successively (10[1]-5[1])smaller mastabas, (10[3]-5[1])and was deified (10[1])as a medicine god after his death. For 10 points, name this Third (10[1])Dynasty Pharaoh, (10[1])the first of the Egyptian Old Kingdom, whose vizier Imhotep (-5[2])helped build his namesake Step Pyramid (10[1]-5[1])in Saqqara. ■END■ (10[5]0[2])
