[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] The Narmer Palette (front) Top Scene Close-up The king is preceded by a long-haired person. The signs accompanying this figure is unknown. A person similarly designed and with the same hieroglyphs, can also be found on the ceremonial mace-heads of both Narmer and 'Scorpion'. His role is normally interpreted as that of a 'shaman'. Before this figure, four persons are holding a standard. The left-most standard represents some kind of animal skin, the second a dog and the next two a falcon. These standards might be the emblems of the royal house of Narmer, or of the regions that already belonged to his kingdom. The object of this procession is made clear on the right hand side of the scene: 10 decapitated corpses are shown lying on the ground, their heads thrown between their legs. Above the victims, a ship with a harpoon and a falcon in it, are drawn. These signs are often interpreted as the name of the conquered region. If this name has remained the same throughout the history of Ancient Egypt, then the region conquered by Narmer was the Mareotis-region, the 7th Lower-Egyptian province.The two signs in front of the probable name of the region, the wing of a door and a sparrow are thought to mean 'create' or 'found'. Thus it can interpreted as meaning, that on the occasion of the conquest of the Mareotis region, Narmer founded a new province, whose name is written as the ship, the harpoon and the falcon.
