Up till now , the location of Thinis is still undisclosed . Some Egyptologists argued that it is the Modern Village 'EI- Tina' , near Bardees . However , this view was rejected by those who followed Daressy's view that supported that this capital was located in the Modern Village of 'El-Barba' , far from that of Abydos . As a matter of fact , no remarkable remnants were discovered in Thinis to support this opinion . A third opinion suggested that this old Egyptian capital was located near the city of Gerga . Thinis was the first capital in the dynastic
Egypt
and it remained the Capital of Egypt through the first two dynasties in which the main king's throne was erected . However , sometimes the kings of the first two dynasties settled in the North , in a city called ’Inb-hd (Memphis (whose construction was attributed to King Menes and which was later called Manf . Due to its location ,
Memphis
acquired extremely great importance . Such importance helped it bestow power and control over both Upper & Lower Egypt , because the capital should be positioned in a place where the Valley and the Delta are linked .
