Summary

edit
Description Memphis was the ancient capital of the Old Kingdom of Egypt from its foundation until around 1300 BC. The city was founded around 3100 BC by Menes of Thini, who united the two kingdoms of Egypt. Memphis reached a peak of prestige under the 6th Dynasty as a centre of the cult of Ptah. Today the site centres around the modern village of Mit Rahina. Most of the existing remains date to the New Kingdom.
