The Archaic or Early Dynastic Period of Egypt is taken to include the First Dynasty and Second Dynasty, lasting from 2920 BC, following the Protodynastic Period, until 2575 BC, or the beginning of the Old Kingdom. Some Egyptologists also include the Third Dynasty. Prior to the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt in circa 3100 BC, the land was settled with autonomous villages. With the first dynasties, the rulers established a national administration and appointed royal governors. The buildings of the central government were typically open-air temples constructed of wood or sandstone.

  • The Archaic or Early Dynastic Period of Egypt is taken to include the First Dynasty and Second Dynasty, lasting from 2920 BC, following the Protodynastic Period, until 2575 BC, or the beginning of the Old Kingdom. Some Egyptologists also include the Third Dynasty. According to Manetho, the first king was Menes. However, the earliest recorded king of the First Dynasty was Hor-Aha, and the first king to claim to have united the two lands was Narmer (the final king of the Protodynastic Period. His name is known because it is written on a votive palette[1] used for grinding minerals for kohl, used by ancient Egyptians to outline the eyes. Funeral practices for the peasants would have been the same as in predynastic times, but the rich demanded something more. Thus, the Egyptians began construction of the Mastabas. Prior to the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt in circa 3100 BC, the land was settled with autonomous villages. With the first dynasties, the rulers established a national administration and appointed royal governors. The buildings of the central government were typically open-air temples constructed of wood or sandstone.
