Two separate kingdoms (ruled by different kings) developed along the Nile River. The kingdom in Upper Egypt was known as the white crown and the kingdom in Lower Egypt was called the red crown.

Menes built a new capital city called Memphis. In the Greek language the word Memphis meant "Balance of the Two Lands."
