Tiu, also known as Teyew, was an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh who ruled the Nile Delta.[2]
Tiu is mentioned in the Palermo Stone inscriptions, along with a small number of kings of Lower Egypt.[3] As there is no other evidence of such a ruler, he may be a mythical king preserved through oral tradition,[4] or may even be completely fictitious.[5][6]
