This era is characterized by the formation and development of the early Egyptian state, leading up to the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh of the 1st Dynasty.
This marks the end of the pre-dynastic period and the beginning of the dynastic period with the establishment of the 1st Dynasty by Pharaoh Narmer, who is often credited with unifying Egypt.
It is based on archaeological and historical evidence suggesting multiple local chieftains or proto-pharaohs who ruled different regions of Egypt before its unification.
The identification of specific rulers during the pre-dynastic period of Egypt is challenging due to the limited and often ambiguous archaeological evidence.
The term "pre-dynastic period" typically refers to the era before the unification of Egypt under the first pharaoh of the 1st Dynasty, which is traditionally dated to around 3100 BCE.
Considered by many as the unifier of Egypt and the first pharaoh of the 1st Dynasty, Narmer is often associated with the Narmer Palette, which depicts the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt.

These groups are thought to represent the kings and chieftains who ruled Egypt before the establishment of the historical dynasties, particularly those who reigned during the pre-dynastic and early dynastic periods.
The "Followers of Horus" are closely associated with the early dynastic kingship and are often depicted in the context of the unification of Egypt.
These followers or "companions" of Horus are believed to have been the early rulers who helped consolidate power in Upper and Lower Egypt, leading up to the unification under a single ruler.
These figures symbolize the divine legitimacy of the pharaohs, reinforcing the idea that the rulers of Egypt were chosen by the gods to maintain order and harmony (Ma'at).
The Turin Royal Canon, also known as the Turin King List, is a papyrus document that provides a list of kings and is one of the most significant sources of information on the chronology of ancient Egypt.

Naqada is not an individual but rather a significant archaeological site in Upper Egypt that has given its name to a key cultural phase in pre-dynastic Egyptian history.
The Badarian culture is named after the site of El-Badari, located on the east bank of the Nile River in Upper Egypt.
Significance: It is one of the most important pre-dynastic sites in Egypt and has provided extensive evidence of early Egyptian culture and society.
These phases represent the progression and development of pre-dynastic Egyptian society, leading up to the unification of Egypt and the establishment of the 1st Dynasty.
This phase leads directly into the early dynastic period, marked by the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt.
Narmer Palette: The Narmer Palette, also from the late Naqada III period, is a significant artifact that depicts King Narmer, who is often credited with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt.
The palette shows Narmer wearing the crowns of both regions, symbolizing his rule over a unified Egypt.

Herodotus identifies Menes as the first king of Egypt, who is credited with founding the city of Memphis.
"Menes, who was the first king of Egypt, raised the whole country around Memphis into a dam".

Manetho was an Egyptian priest and historian from the 3rd century BCE who is known for his works on the history of ancient Egypt.
His primary contribution to Egyptian historiography is his "Aegyptiaca" (History of Egypt), written in Greek.
In this work, he organized the history of Egypt into a series of dynasties, which remains the basic framework for the study of ancient Egyptian history today.
Manetho divided the rulers of Egypt into 30 (or sometimes 31) dynasties, beginning with the semi-mythical First Dynasty and extending to the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great.
Sethos, according to Herodotus, was a priest of Hephaestus (the Greek name for the Egyptian god Ptah) who rose to become the king of Egypt.
His story is particularly noted for the divine intervention that saved Egypt from an Assyrian invasion.
Herodotus does not provide much detail on how Sethos transitioned from a priest to a king, but his ascension indicates the intertwining of religious and royal authority in Egypt.
This decision weakened his support among Egypt's military elite.
During Sethos' reign, Egypt faced a significant threat from Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.
Sennacherib led a powerful army against Egypt.
"In his reign, Sennacherib king of the Arabians and Assyrians marched a great army against Egypt".

Herodotus did not provide specific details about this early period, but he described the antiquity of Egypt as relayed by Egyptian priests.

Therefore, the references to mummification in the books by Bridgman-Metchum and Donnelly are likely their interpretations and expansions of the cultural practices of a hypothetical advanced civilization like Atlantis, influenced by known practices from ancient civilizations such as Egypt, rather than direct citations from Plato's works.
Over its years of destruction, Atlanteans migrated to other parts of the world, including ancient Egypt and the Yucatan Peninsula, where they brought with them their technological advancements, beliefs, and recorded history.
From there it moved partly to Egypt.
From Atlantis this name came to the capital of Egypt.

"In Egypt, Assyria, and Britain it was emblematical of creative power and eternity; in India, China, and Scandinavia, of heaven and immortality; in the two Americas, of rejuvenescence and freedom from physical suffering; while in both hemispheres it was the common symbol of the resurrection, or 'the sign of the life to come;' and, finally, in all heathen communities, without exception, it was the emphatic type, the sole enduring evidence, of the Divine Unity.
"Phison," he tells us, "denotes a multitude; it ran into India; the Euphrates and Tigris go down into the Red Sea while the Geon runs through Egypt."
"The wise men, previous to the Flood, foreseeing an impending Judgment from heaven, either by submersion or fire, which would destroy every created thing, built upon the tops of the mountains in Upper Egypt many pyramids of stone, in order to have some refuge against the approaching calamity.
This tradition locates these monster structures upon the mountains of Upper Egypt, but there are no buildings of such dimensions to be found anywhere in Egypt.
Were not the pyramids of Egypt and America imitations of similar structures in Atlantis?
He conceived the use to which pyramids in particular were anciently applied to have been threefold--namely, as tombs, temples, and observatories; and this view he labors to establish in the third volume of his 'Indian Antiquities.' Now, whatever may be their actual date, or with whatsoever people they may have originated, whether in Africa or Asia, in the lower valley of the Nile or in the plains of Chaldea, the pyramids of Egypt were unquestionably destined to very opposite purposes.
Those accompaniments, however, are disposed without any particular regard to order, but the four arms of the cross, nevertheless, severally and accurately point to the cardinal quarters, The same regularity is observable on a much smaller but not less curious monument, which was discovered some time since in an ancient Peruvian huaca or catacomb--namely, a syrinx or pandean pipe, cut out of a solid mass of lapis ollaris, the sides of which are profusely ornamented, not only with Maltese crosses, but also with other symbols very similar in style to those inscribed on the obelisks of Egypt and on the monoliths of this country.

Humboldt considered the Pyramid of Cholula of the same type as the Temple of Jupiter Belus, the pyramids of Meidoun Dachhour, and the group of Sakkarah, in Egypt.

(The Atlanteans had conquered Egypt and were ruling the country at this period.
They had built the pyramids, on which Cheops put his name many thousands of years later; when Egypt was swamped by a flood, some seventy-seven thousand years ago, the people tried to climb these pyramids for safety, as the waters rose, but failed in consequence of the smoothness of their sides.
Suffice it that a splendid Toltec civilisation was flourishing in Egypt when our emigrants passed along its borders, and the Egyptian Ruler, following the Toltec tradition that other races existed in order that the Toltecs might exploit them, tried to bribe them into remaining in his land.
Some succumbed to the temptation and remained in lower Egypt, in defiance of the Manu's command, to become, a little later, slaves to the dominant Toltecs.
They proposed to kill all the people who were not wholly devoted to the Manu, and prepared to fight the deserters, who had settled down comfortably in Egypt.
