The word “Mina” or “Mini” in the Pharaonic language means: establishes, builds, or erects. As for the Coptic language, it has many meanings, including: solid and stable, or permanent and enduring. King Mina was called by several titles, including the king of the two lands, the owner of the two crowns, the eagle of the south, and the snake of the north; It is a metaphor for possessing savvy, wisdom and intelligence at the same time.
The life of King Mina and his most important achievements
King Mina is credited with uniting the two countries, and establishing a central government through a marriage contract, in the year three thousand and two hundred BC, when he ended a fierce war that raged for decades between the kingdoms of the north and the south of Egypt, until it almost destroyed their peoples, so Mina rushed to go to his father Barmore, who was the ruler of Upper (southern) Egypt, asked him to leave the reins of government for him for only a week, in return for ending that war and stopping its scourge; And because he was the only son of his father, he accepted his father and acted according to his opinion and appointed him king, so Mina sent a delegation to the ruler of Lower (Northern) Egypt to deliver the following message:
(The war lasted ten years and did not end, and my father called me king, and I desire peace with you, you have one daughter, and my father has no son but me, so let me marry your daughter, so she will be my queen, and we combine the two thrones in one throne, and I build a new capital located halfway between the capital Your property and the capital of my father's property). The ruler liked the idea and married his daughter from Mina, and thus Egypt became one kingdom for one king, and in order to protect and fortify his kingdom, he built a middle city as he built a war fortress walled with a white wall, and called it (Mn-Nefr) which means: the beautiful port or the white wall, and soon It did not become the capital of Egypt and the Arabs called it (Memphis), while the Greeks called it (Memphis), and it became of great importance in the ancient world.
It is rumored that the end of King Mina was that he was killed in the care of his guards and servants of his throne when a hippopotamus attacked him, and ended his life with a bite of it.
