Elephant (pharaoh)

Elephant (maybe read as Pen-Abu[1]; fl.c. 3100 BC) is the provisional name of a Predynastic ruler in Egypt. Since the incarved rock inscriptions and ivory tags showing his name are either drawn sloppily, or lacking any royal crest, the reading and thus whole existence of king "Elephant" is highly disputed.
