Mena united the two countries




Narmer or Narmer of Upper Egypt "Upper Egypt" Kingdom of the South unified Upper Egypt "Kingdom of the South" and Lower Egypt "Kingdom of the North" in the second century BC, and founder of the first Pharaonic family. He is thought to have succeeded King Sarkat, the last pre-family king. Many scientists believe that is the same Sereket Narmer. The famous Narmer painting, discovered in 1898 in Heraconopolis, shows Narmer with the emblems of Upper Egypt (Upper Egypt) and Lower Egypt (Delta), reinforcing the theory that it was the union of the two kingdoms. Traditionally this achievement was attributed to King Mina, which is mentioned in the list of Manitou beside being the first Pharaohs kings. Some scholars believe that Mena and Narmer are the same person, while other scholars believe that Mena is Horus Agha and that he inherited the rule of Egypt, which alone Narmer before him. Other scientists believe that Narmer began the unification process and either it did not work or succeeded in part; leaving the task to complete the enamel. Another equally likely theory is that Narmer was directly followed by the king who united Egypt (perhaps King Akrab, whose name was found on a scepter in Herakonopolis), and then took the same symbols of the unification of the two parts that had been used for a generation. It should be noted that while there was much concrete evidence of the existence of Pharaoh named Narmer, there is no evidence other than Manito's list and the legend of the presence of King Mina. The list of newly discovered kings in the tombs of Den and Qaa reminds Narmar as the founder of this royal family.





Narmer's name is represented by the hieroglyphic symbols "Ner", ie, catfish and "mars" (hammer). These symbols can be pronounced as follows: "Narmro" or "Maronar", but the custom was to utter "Narmer." The name means: angry catfish. His wife is believed to have been the harp of Hutp A, and she was a princess from Lower Egypt. Her name was found in the tombs of Narmer's successors, Horah Aha and Dajer, which is believed to have been the mother or wife of Hor Aha.
His tomb was believed to have been composed of two connected rooms (B17 and B18) and very much in Umm al-Qa'ab in Abydos.
Perhaps it is likely that his name means angry catfish but I have ruled out this name for a king who was able to reunite the two countries by naming himself by that name instead of infusing himself with the king of Lower and Upper Egypt.
