Narmer

• Around 3000 B.C., a king named Narmer from Upper Egypt led forces north into the Nile Delta and conquered lower Egypt.
• Narmer’s successors made their capital at Memphis, at the southern end of the delta where Lower Egypt abutted Upper Egypt.
•  The unification of Egypt by Narmer ushered in the first of more than 30 dynasties that would rule the country for the next 30,000 years.
