Size: 3.5 W x 3.625 H (8.9 cm x 9.2 cm) Over 5000 years ago, Narmer was the first king of Egypt who united the villages up and down the Nile. Under his rule, Upper and Lower Egypt came together and formed the first nation in history. Naturally, a nation needs a central place where the bureaucracy takes place. Therefore, the capital was established at Memphis in the north of Egypt, roughly 15 miles from modern-day Cairo.
