Wash was possibly a pharaoh from thePredynastic Period inAncient Egypt, approximately 5,000 years ago. As Wash is known only through his appearance as a captive of the pharaoh Narmer on the eponymouspalette, his existence is contested.

Background

[edit]

Wash's historical existence is uncertain. The siltstone object on which he appears was discovered byBritish archeologists James E. Quibell andFrederick W. Green. They excavated the pallet during their 1897–98 dig season at theTemple of Horus atNekhen.^[2]^[3]^[4] The reverse of the Palette depicts a kneeling captive, "un-Egyptian in appearance", about to be clubbed by the far larger figure ofNarmer.^[5]^[6] Just as Narmer has arebus representing his name carved next to him on the front of the palette (a catfish above a chisel), two primitivehieroglyphs appear near the captive. These are small images of aharpoon and alake. Scholars have considered this harpoon-and-lake rebus as either a representation of the Harpoonnome, a community in the NorthwesternNile Delta next to theLibyan borders, or the captive's personal name. If the latter is the case then the prisoner's name can be read asWash orWashi.^[7]^[6]

If Wash was a historical figure he may have been the last ruler of aLower Egyptian dynasty based atButo. Indeed, Narmer's fame rests on being the Upper Egyptian pharaoh to defeat the last Lower Egyptian pharaoh. However, rather than recording this historical event the palette may simply depict an allegory for Narmer's excellence and right of command, with the figure of Wash having been recruited to the task.^[8]

Archaeologist Edwin van den Brink argued that another predynastic Lower Egyptian ruler,Hedju Hor, is the figure depicted as Wash. van den Brink based this argument on the similarities between Hor's own heraldic crest, hisserekh, and the carving above Wash on the Narmer palette depicting Horus leading a ship out of papyrus reeds with a rope through the nose of its male figurehead.^[9]
