Inika (also Ini-ka or In-ka ) was a high, ancient Egyptian official who worked under King ( Pharaoh ) Hor Den ( 1st Dynasty ). His name can be found on the famous " MacGregor plaque ", on which King Den's triumph over an enemy force near the eastern border of Egypt is depicted. Inika was probably the king's sandal wearer , and the MacGregor plaque shows a pair of sandals on the back. His name is not mentioned anywhere else.
