It's still not entirely clear who the first king of a united Upper and Lower Egypt was, but most scholars name Narmer and Aha as the first in a list of early Egyptian kings buried at Abydos.

Narmer has historically been named as the first "unifier" of Upper and Lower Egypt based on finds associated with him - particularly the so-called "Narmer Palette" a ceremonial stone piece resembling a decorated cosmetic palette on a large scale. The palette is decorated on the front and back and the decorative scheme has been interpreted as showing the conquest and unification of Upper and Lower Egypt.

A seal impression found at Abydos in the mid 1980s shows a king-list that conforms to most modern reconstructions of sequence of kings of the first dynasty - giving the names Narmer, Aha, Djer, Djet, Den, and Merneith.

Complicating the issue of the "first" king is the notion of Upper and Lower Egypt as two separate kingdoms - a separation noted and maintained by the Egyptians themselves throughout the historic period. In addition, finds at Abydos suggest the presence of kings much earlier than Dynasty 1 - though the sphere of influence of these kings is unclear in most cases. These kings have been categorized as forming "Dynasty 0." King "Scorpion" is probably the best known of the lot of them.

It grew to become into believed to be Apophis, between the extra helpful Hyksos pharoahs, fifteenth dynasty. (be conscious that it ought to no longer have been an ethnic Egyptian pharaoh because of the fact for approximately 500 years--from approximately 1800 to 1300 BC, the Egyptians did no longer administration Goshen, and that's the era whilst the Israelites have been there.) some mistakenly have self assurance that it grew to become into Ramses II, yet that's impossible, too, by way of Mernepta Stela. How ought to Ramses II have enslaved the Israelites, and then his successor Mernepta confer with Israel as a rustic already popular interior the promised land?
