Narmer is often credited with the unification of Egypt by means of the conquest of Lower Egypt by Upper Egypt. While Menes is traditionally considered the first king of Ancient Egypt, Narmer has been identified by the majority of Egyptologists as the same person as Menes.

Answer:

Narmer was an ancient Egyptian ruler known to be the last king of the Naqada period and the first king of the First Dynasty . Regarded as the unifier of Egypt, he was most likely the successor to the Protodynastic king, Ka, or possibly Scorpion II.
