Hsekiu

Last updated

Hsekiu, [1] or Seka, was a predynastic Lower Egyptian Pharaoh who ruled over the Nile Delta. [2] He is mentioned in the Palermo Stone as the third ruler of Lower Egypt. [3] There is no archeological evidence of him, [4] which leads most archeologists to think of him as mythical. [5]
