The city’s original name was Hiku-Ptah (also Hut-Ka-Ptah), later known as Inbu-Hedj, meaning ‘White Walls’ due to its construction from mud brick and subsequent white painting. During the Old Kingdom (c. 2613-2181 BCE), it was called Men-nefer (‘the enduring and beautiful’), which the Greeks translated to ‘Memphis.’ It is said to have been founded by King Menes (c. 3150 BCE), who unified Egypt into one nation. Memphis served as the ruling seat for the kings of the Early Dynastic Period (c. 3150-2613 BCE) and the Old Kingdom (c. 2613-2181 BCE), and even when not the capital, it remained a vital commercial and cultural hub.

Originating from the 3rd dynasty (2667—2448 BC), it was the first all-stone complex ever constructed on earth. It also introduced significant architectural advancements for the construction of the Giza Pyramids and other pyramids in the 4th dynasty and beyond.
