 Narmer's Palette details the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt in 3100 B.C.E. by King Menes.   An inscribed stone slab of Prince Wep-em-nefret from the Fourth Dynasty  The Eye of Horus appeared throughout the dynasties.

During the Middle Kingdom, the lands of Egypt stretched farther south than they do today.  Akhenaton's unusual appearance may have been caused by Marfan's syndrome, a genetic disorder. | |||||
