Predynastic Egypt

last phase of the Naqada culture of ancient Egyptian prehistory

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