Our Egyptian history began around 3000 BC, Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt were integrated into a unified kingdom. Under the rule of this new dominant dynasty, the first king was Menes, and the thirty dynasties follow. It was this time that the writing of hieroglyphs first appeared in Pharaoh's tomb and treasure. In order to seal the integration of Egypt and Egypt, Menes established the capital of the kingdom where two meet. On the top of the Nile River, a fertile Schilt Plain was spreading. The fortress city was named "white wall" by Menez, but today it is known as the Greek name Memphis. For most of the 3,000 years of ancient Egypt, it was still the capital of Pharaoh. The modern capital city Cairo, only 32 km north of Memphis, is still near the confluence of the Nile Valley and the Delta.
