What is "weneg"

Weneg (or Uneg), also known as Weneg-Nebty, is the throne name of an early Egyptian king, who ruled during the second dynasty. Although his chronological position is clear to Egyptologists, it is unclear for how long King Weneg ruled. It is also unclear as to which of the archaeologically identified Horus-kings corresponds to Weneg.

Weneg (also read as Uneg) was a sky and death deity from ancient Egyptian religion, who was said to protect the earth and her inhabitants against the arrival of the "great chaos".

Weneg (or, alternatively, Uneg) is the name of:

• Weneg (Egyptian deity), a sky- and death deity from Egyptian religion
• Weneg (pharaoh), a well attested but chronologically unfixed king of Egyptian second dynasty
