This month’s question was who was the first Pharaoh of Egypt? To quote from our source:
“The history of Egypt as a country really begins about 3000 BCE, when a man named Narmer managed, for the first time, to unite both the upper and lower regions of Egypt. He thus became the first pharaoh and according to legend, also established the capital city of Memphis at the juncture between the two halves of the land.”
