   • Transfer to Memphis, founded by King Menes. It was the capital of Old Egypt during the Old Kingdom and was considered a center of rule and culture for over 3000 years the first capital of Egypt. The city reached a peak of prestige under the 6th dynasty as a center for the worship of Ptah, the god of creation and artworks. The Alabaster sphinx that guards the Temple of Ptah memorialises the city’s former power and prestige. The Memphis triad, consisting of the creator god Ptah, his consort Sekhmet, and their son Nefertem, formed the main focus of worship in the city. Memphis declined briefly after the 18th dynasty with the rise of Thebes and the New Kingdom and was revived under the Persians before falling firmly into second place following the foundation of Alexandria.
