Khotep

Khotep (AKA "The Black Pharaoh"), first mentioned by Lin Carter in "Curse of the Black Pharaoh (fiction)".

In the Mythos

In the Sixth Dynasty (c. 2150 BCE) "The Black Pharaoh" would arise again in the incarnation of Khotep, apparently a reincarnation of Nephren-Ka.

Heresies and Controversies

• Nephren-Ka / Nophru-Ka may be been re-incarnated at some point as "The Black Pharaoh" Khotep, at the end of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt. ("Curse of the Black Pharaoh," Lin Carter)
• Nephren-Ka seems to have been reincarnated numerous times through history down his blood-line, including an incarnation as a cult-leader masquerading as Harry Houdini's guide in "Under the Pyramids (fiction)" (YSDC, inspired by "Under the Pyramids")
