Fish (pharaoh)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fisch was possibly an ancient Egyptian king ( pharaoh ) from the pre-dynastic period . The name (or the corresponding hieroglyphic symbol ) is passed down through vessel inscriptions in the tomb 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.
