	Menes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Menes was an Egyptian pharaoh of the Ist.
		In either case, Menes is credited with the foundation of Memphis, which he established as the Egyptian capital.
		Other spellings for Menes are Hor Aka, Hor-Aka and Hor Aha; Hor-Aka can be translated as "Horus of the Reeds", possibly in allusion to the legend in which Isis hid Horus in the Nile Delta among papyri and reeds.

	Menes
		According to Manetho, Menes ruled for 62 years and was killed by a hippopotamus.
		Later research has cast much uncertainty on him, suggesting both that either Scorpion, Narmer or even Aha was the king unifying Egypt, or that Menes is another name for one of those, perhaps even that all 4 names relate to the same king.
		Both forms of evidence may suggest that Menes was one of the other, or just that the later kings linked themselves with the first king of the unified Egypt.

	Mystery of Menes
		According to tradition, it was Menes (or Narmer) who as king of Upper Egypt conquered the rival kingdom of Lower Egypt in the Nile delta, thus forming the single kingdom of Egypt.
		Menes was such a gifted and charismatic leader that he was later deified by later Egyptians, and a cult developed which pictured him as a direct descendant of the Gods, a tradition which then spread to other pharaohs.
		It has been longly debated about the true identity of the King called 'Menes' since the New Kingdom onwards; Menes was credited by the late period sources as the Unificator of Upper and Lower Egypt; and the Narmer palette was seen as the proof of the Unification by this ruler.

	Menes - LoveToKnow 1911
		MENES, the name of the founder of the 1st Dynasty of historical kings of Egypt.
		Until recently he was looked upon as semi-mythical, but the discovery of the tombs of many kings of the 1st Dynasty including probably that of Menes himself, as well as an abundance of remains of still earlier ages in Egypt has given him a personality.
		He was probably ruler of Upper Egypt and conquered the separate kingdom of Lower Egypt.

	Menes
		Menes died when he was sixty-three years old by either being attacked by “wild dogs and Nile crocodiles in Faiyum” (Menes) or by hippopotamus.
		There seems to be some evidence that Menes was the ruler of lower Egypt at the time of the unification, lower Egypt was the more civilized of the two halves, and is created with building Memphis.
		Some of the explanations given for how Narmer and Menes could both be the unifier of Egypt are varied but the most reasonable seems to be that Narmer was king after Menes and was responsible for the unification of the governments of Upper and Lower Egypt.

	Menes, King Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Menes was the earliest man that he mentioned by name, as the first king of the First Dynasty of Upper and Lower Egypt.
		Menes left the temples and festivals of Set in place, and assumed the other gods of the north as well.
		Menes and the other kings of the First Dynasty who ruled during the construction of Memphis, however, were also recognized at Theni, posing a dilemma for those who had to decide where they should be enshrined.

	Wikinfo \| Menes
		Many Egyptologists have identified Menes with another ruler Hor Aka (also spelled Hor-Aka and Hor Aha), who is mentioned in inscriptions dated to the First dynasty, and in the Turin King List.
		It seems not unreasonable to suggest that a grain of history, giving birth to this myth, could also be found in the events of Pharoah Khasekhemwy reign, ruling several hundred years later; he crushed a civil war between the followers of Set and Horus.
		According to Manetho, Menes reigned 62 years and was killed by a hippopotamus.

	Egyptian Pharaohs : Early Dynastic Period : Dynasty 1 : Menes
		As "Menes", Horus Aha is reputed to have founded Memphis and Crocodopolis and was the first king to unify Upper and Lower Egypt -- the beginning to the Ancient Egyptian civilization that did not end until the Roman era with the crowning of Augustus Caesar.
		The newly founded town of Memphis -- dedicated to his patron god of Ptah, was called Hiku-ptah, which was later mangled by foreigners into Egypt.
		The death of Aha (purportedly at age 63) is part of the "Menes" legend -- he was attacked by wild dogs and Nile crocodiles in the oasis city of Fayoum, but this is not really supported by much evidence, as far as I can tell.

	The Ancient Egypt Site - 1st Dynasty
		The same tradition has credited Menes with many deeds, among them the conquest of the Nile delta (Lower Egypt) thus unifying Upper and Lower Egypt; the founding of Memphis as the united country's new capital; the building of dams and the founding of many new cults and temples.
		It must also be noted that the identification of Menes as the Horus Aha is not supported by any evidence and that the Red Crown may initially have been of Upper Egyptian origin before it became the symbol of Lower Egypt, at the latest during the early 1st Dynasty.
		The next clue to the identification of Menes and a confirmation of the chronology of the 1st Dynasty is provided by two seals found in 1985 and 1995 at the royal cemetery at Umm el-Qa'ab.

		He began in 1963 as a pickman; in the early 1970’s he acted as subforeman for the excavations in the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore, and eventually rose to the position of general foreman in 1981.
		Since retiring, Menes has taken a much deserved trip to Zakynthos with his wife, Toula; enjoyed more time with his children, Kostas and Iota; and has pondered landscaping of his yard and the placement of a mulberry tree given to him by Director Sanders.
		Menes also dropped by the Panayia Field regularly to make sure that high standards of excavation were still being met.

	Egypt Ancient, Menes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In addition to crediting Menes with the unification of Egypt by war and administrative measures, tradition attributes to him the founding of the capital, Menphis, near modern Cairo.
		Manetho called Menes a Thinite--i.e., a native of the Thinite province in Upper Egypt--and, in fact, monuments belonging to the kings Narmer and Aha, either of whom may be Menes, have been excavated at Abydos, a royal cemetery in the Thinite nome.
		Narmer also appears on a slate palette (a decorated stone on which cosmetics were pulverized) wearing the red and white crowns of Lower and Upper Egypt, a combination symbolic of unification; he is shown triumphant over his enemies, probably an allusion to the wars fought to attain unity.

	Menes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It should be noted that while there is extensive archeological evidence of there being a pharaoh named Narmer, the only unarguable evidence for menes is an ostrica which contains his name under the Nebty symbols.
		There is a general suspicion that Menes either was a name of Narmer, his predicessor, or to his successor, Hor-Aha.
		A later parallel can be found leading to the establishment of the reign of Pharaoh Khasekhemwy several hundred years later; he may have crushed a civil war between the followers of Set and Horus.
