Qahedjet (also Hor-Qahedjet) could be the Horus name of an ancient Egyptian king (pharaoh), who may have ruled during the 3rd Dynasty or could be a voluntarily archaistic representation of Thutmose III.[3] Since the only artifact attesting to the ruler and his name is a small stela made of polished limestone of uncertain origin and authenticity,[4] Egyptologists are discussing the chronological position and historical figure of Qahedjet.
