4. The First Pharaoh.
Archaeologists working in the ancient town of Hieraconpolis in southern Egypt
found an unusual object. Among some sacred relics buried in the remains of an
early temple was a large palette. One side shows a large figure holding an
enemy by the hair with one hand while raising a stick with the other.
Hieroglyphs over the scene call the man “Narmer”. The reverse side shows
Narmer leading a procession of figures, while a little man behind him dressed
as a priest.
Most significantly, Narmer wears one kind of crown on one side of the palette
and a different crown on the other (Red Crown of the Lower Egypt and White
Crown of the Upper Egypt). The pictures narrate Narmer’s leadership of a
Upper Egypt confederation to its successful conquest of the Lower Egypt, a
conquest that
made Narmer
the
first
pharaoh of a
unified Egypt.
