The Battle near the North-West Delta (as it is unofficially known) was a battle of the Unification War for Ancient Egypt, fought between the Kingdom of Upper Egypt and the Kingdom of Lower Egypt. It is implied on the Narmer Palette that the battle was the final conclusive engagement of the war, where Pharaoh Narmer led an Upper Egyptian army to conquer a polity on the north-west delta of the Nile. Nothing else is known about this battle other than it apparently brought the war to an end.
