Quick Guide - The Narmer Palette

Описание: In 1897, Egyptologist J.E. Quibell, conducting excavations at Hierakonpolis in Upper Egypt, made a remarkable discovery known as the Narmer Palette.

This ancient artifact, dating back over 1000 years at the time of its burial, holds significant historical importance as it reveals the unification of Egypt during the end of the Predynastic Period. The Narmer Palette, a ceremonial slate stone standing about 2 feet tall, was originally used for grinding cosmetics, possibly for offerings at a shrine dedicated to a local deity.
