Finger snail
Finger snail was an ancient Egyptian king ( pharaoh ) from the pre-dynastic period . The name is passed down through inscriptions on vessels in the grave Uj of King Scorpio I in Umm el-Qaab . However, the reading of the received characters as a royal name is controversial and is rejected by most researchers.
