Archaeologist Edwin van den Brink argued that Hedju Hor – another predynastic Lower Egyptian ruler – could be identified with Wash, on the basis of the similarities between the former's serekh and the carving above Wash on the Narmer Palette.[6] Neferkare III Neby Intef III Mentuhotep III Sobekhotep III Ptolemy III Euergetes	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7977.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7977.txt
