text_original: C., are divided into thirty one dynasties or groups; but the dates are so uncertain that it is a question whether the first dynasty reigned 3000 or 5700 years before Christ. The First Dynasty, whenever it may have been, was the time of Menes ; and with this the real history of Egypt begins. It is said that he united the states of Egypt and then set out to build a capital city.
