Memphis
Memphis, founded around 3,100 BC, is the legendary city of Menes, the King who united Upper and Lower Egypt. Early on, Memphis was more like a fortress from which Menes controlled the land and water routes between Upper Egypt and the Delta.

However, by the 3rd Dynasty, the building at Saqqara suggests that Memphis had become a sizable city.
