Mekh

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mekh is listed on the Palermo Stone as a Predynastic ancient Egyptian king who ruled in the Lower Egypt. There is no other evidence of such ruler. Mekh may be a mythical king who is only remembered in unwritten stories,[1] or may even be completely fictitious.[2][3]
