Narmer: The First Pharaoh Who Unified Upper and Lower Egypt

Narmer was an Early Dynastic Period pharaoh, considered to be the first king of a unified Ancient Egypt (Kemet) around 3100 BCE, whose reign initiated one of the world's most enduring civilizations. The Narmer Palette, a significant artifact from his time, depicts him wearing both the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt, symbolizing his conquest and unification of the two lands. He is also often identified with Menes, the legendary first ruler of Egypt who is credited with founding the capital city of Memphis.
