Ka (Pharaoh)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ka, also Sekhem Ka [1], was a predynastic pharaoh of Upper Egypt. He ruled over Abydos and was buried at Umm el-Qa'ab. He most likely was the immediate successor to Iry-Hor and was succeeded by Narmer[2]. He is the earliest known Egyptian king with a serekh, inscribed on a number of artifacts [3].
