Newborn calf (hieroglyph)

Palermo Stone, King Series, Row I (predynastic)

The following is the list of predynastic pharaohs (Nile Delta north) represented on the Palermo Piece of the 7–piece Palermo Stone: The sequence is in the proper order with the beginning Pharaoh on the right: (reading right-to-left, seven complete names pictured in year-registers):

  • Mekh, Wazner, Neheb, Thesh, Tiu (Tiu), Khayu, Hsekiu.
  • Owl...Papyrus...Ripple......Tether...Bread&Feather.Bivalve...Cloth
  • Belly.....Fish......Plow........Lake.............Quail.........Newborn...Ka
  • Note: On the Palermo Stone all the hieroglyphs face in the other direction (Gardiner signs are only facing left, on the stone they face right (reading right-to-left)). The source of the following Pharaohs is only from this King List; a few have artifacts that further confirm their reign (the Double Falcon King). The pharaohs deficient in information are: Hsekiu, Khayu, Tiu (pharaoh), Thesh, Neheb, Wazner, Mekh.
