Learn to Read Hieroglyphs · Lesson 15 👑 Narmer’s Horus Name A catfish and a chisel preserve the name of a king who lived more than 5,000 years ago. The catfish sign represents **nꜥr**, and the chisel **mr**. Together, they write **Narmer**, a king closely associated with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BCE. His name appears at the top of the Narmer Palette inside a **serekh**, a frame representing a palace façade. The name is often interpreted as **“Fierce catfish,”** although its exact meaning remains uncertain. Now you can recognise his name on one of ancient Egypt’s most famous objects. ✨ Save this lesson for your next museum visit! #AncientEgypt #Hieroglyphs #Narmer #EgyptianHistory #BeautifulHistory
