Who is Iry-Hor?
Iry-Hor or Ro was a predynastic pharaoh of Upper Egypt during the 32nd century BC. Until recently, Iry-Hor's existence was debated, with egyptologist Toby Wilkinson contesting the reading and signification of his name. However, continuing excavations at Abydos in the 1990s and the discovery in 2012 of an inscription of Iry-Hor in the Sinai establish his existence. Iry-Hor is the earliest ruler of Egypt known by name.
