African King,Narmer the Unifier achieved a status that rivaled even that of the gods: a king from whom all future rulers would trace descent and seek comparison with. Narmer would forever be remembered as the man who forged one nation out of two lands that would last for well over 3,000 years. Even the ancient Greeks who would rise some 2,800 years after his death, would write of great Egyptian king called Menes who many believe was none other than Narmer, the Unifier. |
