Based on the description of the position and the research history of the Tomb 100 of Hierakonpolis at the upper west bank of the Nile, the tomb's construction and its positioning within the necropolis is examined at first. Relating to the English literature on this significant gravesite of predynastic Egypt, the grave furnishing and the wall decoration are listed in detail, described and their symbolic meanings are interpreted. Together with a comprehensive description of the living habits, hierarchy and political relations during the Naqada area, the author finally proves that the Tomb 100 of Hierakonpolis was the last resting-place of a person, who was not only regionally important, but who was one of the legendary ancestors of the future kings of ancient Egypt.
