On the banks of the Nile. Around 3,000 BCE (approximately), centuries of social change produced a unified Kingdom of Egypt. Its first ruler was probably named Nar-mer. In this episode, we meet Narmer and explore the Nile Valley and its people...

Out of many... two. Five thousand years ago, a kingdom emerged on the banks of the Nile. The "Two Lands" of Southern and Northern Egypt slowly unified, and rulers like Narmer established their authority. The origins of the kingdom are murky, but archaeology can uncover secrets. In this episode, we meet the first ruler of the land, get a sense of Egypt and its people, and introduce the podcast as a whole. Welcome!

Date: circa 3050 – 3000 BCE.

Kings: Narmer, Scorpion (epilogue).
