Answer 1

According to Egyptian legend, the first kings of Egypt were later some of Egypt's most famous gods. We really do not know whether some of these individuals actually existed in human form or what regions of Egypt they may have ruled over. Only at the end of the Predynastic period, prior to the unification of Egypt, can we recognize specific kings who most likely ruled over either northern or southern Egypt. According to many sources, the first real king of Egypt, therefore ruling over the unified land, was Menes, who would have ruled Egypt around 3100 BC, but we have little if any archaeological basis for this name. Most scholars today believe that he may have been a king named Narmer, or more likely still, Aha, two figures that are better attested in the archaeological record. However, Menes might have also been a legendary composition of several rulers. After these first rulers of a unified Egypt, the Egyptian monarchy lasted in a recognizable form for over three thousand years, basically ending with Cleopatra, though even Roman emperors attempted to style themselves as Egyptian pharaohs. We know of 170 or more specific pharaohs during this period of time. Although many changes occurred during that time, almost all of the fundamentals remained the same.

Kings were not only males, and unlike in modern monarchies, the ruler of ancient Egypt, whether male or female, was always called a king. In fact, Egypt had some very noteworthy female rulers such as Hatshepsut and others."

"In the pre-civilization time, people found living in the Nile River Valley provided them a safe environment. The Nile River Valley was a rich area because of the annual flooding of the river. Over time the various groups organized themselves into two separate governments called the Upper Kingdom and the Lower Kingdom. About 3100 BC., Menes, the ruler of Upper Egypt, conquered the Lower Egyptian Kingdom. Menes united and became the first ruler of both Upper and Lower Egypt.
Where the two kingdoms met, Menes built the capital of Memphis."

How did Menes (or Narmer or Aha - love that name) become ruler? Well, apparently it all took place so far back that we're not even sure of the ruler's name, never mind how he achieved power. But, given human nature, which hasn't really changed much, if any, since then, I'd say it's safe to assume he came to power in the usual way: by being ruthlessly ambitious, by imposing his will upon others and by eliminating any possible rivals. I mean, we're not talking "democratic elections" here; this was a time when the strongest, most heartless, inhuman, inhumane, insensate, insensitive, merciless, obdurate, pitiless, ruthless, soulless, uncharitable, unfeeling, unmerciful, unsparing, unsympathetic contender gained the crown.

Answer 2

Ancient Egypt goes back to about 4000bc, although the land of the Nile was occupied for far longer than that.
The first dynastic period was ruled by Thinite, c 3200-3100bc.
The first ruler of The Old Kingdom was Memphite, c2755-2680bc
These are not specific names, but the names of dynasties accoding to their geographical locations
The first ruler of the Memphite dynasty was Menes, who united the Upper Kingdom and the Delta. or Lower kingdom, into one.

Answer 3

Well, King Menes was supposed to have united Upper Egypt under his single political power and take in the northern area of Lower Egypt under his rule also around 3100 BC. Menes might also have been called Narmer.
