  1. Narmer's palette shows a king with the crowns of the south and the north.

    More to know: The south was called Upper Egypt. The north, by the sea, was Lower Egypt. The names follow the river. It flows north.

    We are not sure: We are not sure this was the first day Egypt became one country. The palette is a carving, not a photo.
