The few alleged ink inscriptions showing his name are drawn very sloppily, and the reading and thus whole existence of king "Crocodile" are highly disputed. The proposed existence of Crocodile is based on Günter Dreyer's and Edwin van den Brink's essays. According to Dreyer, Crocodile's name appears in black ink inscriptions on burnt earthen jars and on several seal impressions found in tomb TT 1549 at Tarkhan and tomb B-414 at Abydos. Dreyer places him in a time shortly before the kings Iry-Hor, Ka and Narmer. Sobek of Shedet, The Crocodile God in the Fayyum in the Dynastic Period.
