Egyptian kings

This king has his tomb in the oldest part of the royal cemetery in Abydos. It's a construction of two chambers where the southern one (B 1) is believed to be the grave chamber, and the other one for offerings and supplies. The monument was well documented by German Egyptologist Kaiser in 1964 (see picture main text). Iryhor's "name" is found (without a serek) on two jars as a Horus falcon (in Egyptian: Hor) sitting on the sign for mouth - iry, (se picture left with the two later hieroglyphs for comparison on top).
This depiction is also known from a find at Zawiyet-el-Aryan north of Sakkara, thereby indicating a possible rule (or influence) over a greater part of the country than the Thinis region (Abydos). Some doubts about if he was a real "king" have been put forward by some scholars.
