Probably Menes by Petrie, PL
Ruler who unified Egypt - Upper and Lower Egypt. Some authors not include in in to the First Dynasty. Somehow he is on the Abydos King List as first ruler as also on so called Narmer Palette, where he is first known ruler mentioned as ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt. Probably he was ruler with name Menes who changed name to Menes (Meni) after unifying of Egypt. Some authors mix him as Hor-Aha who in reality was son of the Narmer or at least son of his wife Neithhotep.
