The pyramid structure of the Old Kingdom of Egypt which lived eternally with the gods in heaven spent time sailing with humans. This special status was called the Egyptian gods had land resources were in balance and originated in the predynastic period. The worship of the god Amun gave wealth and tombs to the New Kingdom. Later to compensate for the decline the demigod Egyptian pharaohs were appointed throughout their lives.

Al-Kab Monuments, Esna, Egypt.
In 1938, several brick tombs were discovered in the Memphis necropolis at Saqqara. They contained bone remains but no stone tablets with inscriptions indicating that the tomb belonged to a reigning king but not a ruler in Egypt. It may have belonged to an important person or to a person in the past to commemorate the pharaohs who ruled the North and the South. It is most likely that the past rulers or important people in ancient Egypt were buried at Saqqara and there were monuments at Abydos. There is evidence from two sites of tombs of craftsmen who were taken with their rulers into the afterlife and there were significant architectural changes of craftsmen. It is possible that they were poisoned before burial towards the end of the ancient period and to replace the traditional Mastaba burial ritual many people were buried in Mastaba tombs as houses for the deceased
Mastaba tombs of Patahotep and Akhotep
The appearance of carved stone tablets and grave goods found at Abydos in 1895 initially indicated that these tombs were burial sites with no human remains possibly the result of looting. The exact location of the tombs in 1895 remains unknown with some pharaohs whose tombs could not be clearly located. During the Old Kingdom the city dominated aspects of the society. The burial sites of the pharaohs before Abydos and Saqqara were very important. Originally known as the White Wall it was known as Memphis and became one of the major cities of the ancient world. It was the residence of the various officials in the past the depot of supplies and goods, which was the central hub of the nearby areas. The early period also emphasized the role of the old southern capital near Abydos their most important cultural center. The White Wall in the center of each important city in the land became a metropolis for arts and crafts.
Butoh and Edjo Kingdoms
The White Land stretched along the Nile Valley in the Southern Kingdom from Atfih to Gebel Essilsila at Neken later called Hierakonpolis near the present city of Edfu. The city was located on the western bank of the Nile. Excavations in 1897 found a sacrificial treasury or main treasury in the Neken Temple dating back to the early pharaonic period on the eastern bank opposite Neken el-Kab the center of vulture rituals. Nekhbet the patron goddess of the early kingdom was an important center. When archaeologist Quibell found the temple at Nekhbet and the sacrificial treasury he proved that the former southern capital of the White Land the center of vulture rituals Nekhbet and the pre-pharaonic kingdoms in both lands were true.
The two kingdoms of Buto and Edjo between about 3400 BC and about 3100 BC were independent in Egypt. The Red Land was located in the Nile Delta, stretching south along the valley as far as Atfih, with its capital at Pe near ancient Dep. Later called Buto now known as Tel el-Farain and another land Edjo the mound of the pharaoh with the inscription of Wadjet the supreme god of the kingdom the goddess of the cobra who protected the king and was worshiped in the kingdoms of Buto and Edjo the pharaoh king of the Red Land and the White Land in the Nile Valley in the temple wearing a red crown in both lands each land has a god goddess to protect the pharaoh
the goddess of the cobra of the two lands who together acted as patrons and protectors of ancient Egypt and meant the two dynasties of the pharaohs Menes used in the art and architecture of Edjo and Nekhbet double crown symbol of the south and north wearing both white and red crowns either worn separately or together as a pair the two kingdoms that were never forgotten by the unification making the two lands finally united. The ritual center of the patron goddess of the kingdom was the vulture Nekhbet from Quibell's discoveries in the Nechen and Necheb the treasury of the central ritual temple in the Nechen.
