There is no evidence in Lower Egypt of any Upper Egyptian king's presence before Iry-Hor. The archaeological evidence suggest that the unification began before Narmer, but was completed by him through the conquest of a polity in the North-West Delta as depicted on the Narmer Palette.[51] Prior to Narmer, only one serekh of Ka and one inscription with Iry-Hor's name have been found in Canaan.[59] The serekhs earlier than Iry-Hor are either generic serekhs that do not refer to a specific king, or are for kings not attested in Abydos.[57] Indicative of the decline of Egyptian presence in the region after Narmer, only one serekh attributed to his successor, Hor-Aha, has been found in Canaan.[57] Even this one example is questionable, Wilkinson does not believe there are any serekhs of Hor-Aha outside Egypt[60] and very few serekhs of kings for the rest of the first two dynasties have been found in Canaan.[61] ^ http://www.ancient-egypt.org/history/early-dynastic-period/1st-dynasty/horus-aha/naqada-label.html Djoser Sekhemkhet Sanakht Nebka Khaba Qahedjet Huni ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1173.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1173.txt
