	The Narmer Palette
		The Narmer Palette, now one of the many exhibits at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, was discovered in 1898 by the archaeologist James E. Quibell in the Upper Egyptian city of Nekhen (today's Hierakonpolis), believed to be the Pre-Dynastic capital of Upper Egypt.
		The Narmer Palette was cut out of one piece of dark-green-coloured schist, approximately 64 cm (or 23 in.) in height and dates to approximately 3200 B.C. It has survived intact.
		Above the victim's head and in front of Narmer's face, the falcon Horus of Nekhen - symbol of Egyptian royalty and protector of the king - is sitting upon the plants of a personified papyrus marshland.

		Narmer, the king of the South, is wielding his mace in a gesture of triumph over his Magan [1] prisoner, whose name may be Wash. The king's stance is similar to Mesopotamian pictures of royalty and points to the influence Mesopotamia seems to have had on Egypt even in these early times.
		The victory is Narmer's alone: he is followed not by a symbol of state administration like a soldier or a scribe but by somebody carrying his sandals, a personal servant, even if possibly a high-ranking one as the seven-petalled rosette seems to indicate [2].

		The king on the reverse side of the palette is seen wearing the crown of Lower Egypt, attended by the same attendant as the king of Upper Egypt, thus indicating one king with two crowns.
		Thus the whole palette was obviously produced to celebrate the unification of Egypt, marked by the union of opposites and their leaders, Osiris and Seth, Life and Death, Spring and Autumn, Sumer and Narmer.
