Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Narmer (or Menes) was the Egyptian pharaoh who unified "Upper" and "Lower" Egypt into one state and founded the first Egyptian dynasty.
Key Takeaway: Menes was the first pharaoh that ruled over a united kingdom in Egypt. He is often credited with founding the very first Egyptian dynasty, around 3100 b.c.e. For much of Egyptian history, Menes has often been seen as a founding figure of Egypt (similar to Romulus in Rome). His notoriety is now sometimes questioned, however, as some people attribute his accomplishments to Narmer instead. Some Egyptologists believe that Menes and Narmer were, in actuality, the same person. Like many facts in ancient Egypt, this is all open to interpretation and speculation.
