nynetjer -lrb- also known as ninetjer and banetjer -rrb- is the horus name of the third early egyptian king during the 2nd dynasty .
the exact length of his reign is unknown .
the turin canon suggests an improbable reign of 96 years and egyptian historian manetho suggested that nynetjer 's reign lasted 47 years .
egyptologists question both statements as misinterpretations or exaggerations .
they generally credit nynetjer with a reign of either 43 years or 45 years .
their estimation is based on the reconstructions of the well known palermo stone inscription reporting the years 7 -- 21 , the cairo stone inscription reporting the years 36 -- 44 .
according to different authors , nynetjer ruled egypt from c. 2850 bc to 2760 bc or later from c. 2760 bc to 2715 bc .
