Menes (c. 3150 BCE) is the legendary first king of Egypt who is thought to have united Upper and Lower Egypt through conquest and founded both the First Dynasty and the great city of Memphis.
Upper Egypt is a dry valley while Lower Egypt is wetter, marshlands. Power of Nubia diminishes and Upper Egypt starts to get larger. Nekhen (in Upper) has evidence of development of social hierarchy with elite burials, and the start of the Cult of the Dead.
