مينا .. كتاب المائة الأوائل

Meena

MENES

He lived around 3100 BC

Menes is the first king of the first dynasty in Egypt, and he was the first ruler who unified Egypt and established the kingdom that would play a long and glorious role in the history of human civilization.

The date of Mina's birth and death is unknown, although it is believed that he flourished in the year 3100 BC. And before that time it wasn't. Egypt is unified but two independent kingdoms. The first is located in the north and the second in the south in the Nile Valley. The northern kingdom was called Lower Egypt and the southern Upper Egypt. This is because the Nile descends from the high mountainous south to the low plain north, and Lower Egypt was more prestigious than Upper Egypt. However, King Mines, who came from the south, that is, Upper Egypt, conquered the North and assumed the title of King of "Upper and Lower Egypt", and this title was preserved by the Pharaohs who succeeded him for thousands of years. He founded (Memphis) and made it his capital. Today, the ruins of Memphis are located near Cairo.

It is known about (Mina) that his rule was long (about 62 years), according to some ancient sources, although this number could be exaggerated.

Before the era of (Mina), the Egyptian culture was less than the culture of Mesopotamia (Sumerian), but the unification of Egypt unleashed the Egyptian talents, as governmental and social institutions arose, and the hieroglyphic writing developed rapidly, as well as the development of construction and other technical skills. After a few centuries, Egyptian culture became comparable, if not superior, to Sumerian culture. During the two thousand years that followed the reign of (Mena), Egypt became, in terms of its wealth and culture, ranked first in the world, or close to that rank. This peak has rarely been reached by any civilization in the world.

The pharaoh in Egypt possessed the enormous full power, and Mina personally was an effective factor in the great incidents that occurred in his time, despite the lack of more information about him. However, the author believes that (Mina) was one of the important figures in history.
