The Egyptian empire, characterized by a unified state rule and monumental construction, is often said to have been 'born' during a period known as the Early Dynastic Period of Egypt, which lasted from around 3100 BCE to about 2686 BCE. This period followed the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh, traditionally considered to be King Narmer (also known as Menes). However, it's essential to note that significant development in the region and stages of predynastic culture existed before this unification and laid the foundations for the Egyptian empire.
