Wash (pharaoh)
Possibly an ancient Egyptian predynastic ruler / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wash (fl. c. 3150 BC) was possibly a pharaoh from the Predynastic Period in Ancient Egypt, more than 5,000 years ago. As Wash is known only through his appearance as a captive of the pharaoh Narmer on the eponymous palette, his existence is contested.
