Ka (Pharaoh)

Ka, also Sekhem Ka [Michael Rice, "Who's Who in Ancient Egypt", Routledge 1999, p.86] , was a predynastic pharaoh of Upper Egypt. He ruled over Abydos in the late 32nd or early 31st century BC and was buried at Umm el-Qa'ab. He most likely was the immediate successor to Iry-Hor and was succeeded by Narmer [Ian Shaw, "The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt", p.71] . He is the earliest known Egyptian king with a "serekh," inscribed on a number of artifacts [Toby A. H. Wilkinson, "Early Dynastic Egypt", Routledge 1999, pp.57f.] .
