King Huni | Third Dynasty Kings of Egypt

Updated: Feb 7, 2021

Some archaeological references suggest that King "Honi" had started constructing the Medium pyramid, which was situated in the Middle region close to Memphis, on the West bank of the Nile River in Beni Suef about one hundred kilometers to the South of Cairo.


Also, King Huni had a girl called Hetepheres who was to become the wife of her half-brother, Snefru. They had Khufu, Cheops, who built the Great Pyramid. It's probably because of the successful militancy against the enemies of Egypt that King Huni was called (the Smiter). During early Egyptian history, the Bedouin tribes traveling in the ancient areas of Sinai, Canaan, Syria, and Arabia have been vigorously battled by the ancient Egyptians to protect quarries and mines.


The Stone Quarries were very important for the king so that stone building materials could be extracted that were required for his extensive construction projects. This King has been associated with many small, pyramid-shaped temples. There are no chambers inside, so there are no graves. They are thought to serve as border markers for the king, or maybe cenotaphs for close family members.

In Abu Rawash, King Huni erected a brick pyramid grave (8 km north of Giza). The layered pyramid of bricks is very small and severely hurt. The Mud bricks that were used to make it were peculiar for the third Dynasty which at that time used stone to make its monuments.
