This is pretty much impossible. By the time this guy lived (and his name was Narmer, not Narmur, and some scholars believe he was actually Menes), there were many other races already in the world, including China, Native American groups. Â Greece had been going strong for several thousand years, as well. Â We have records of them going back something like 10000 years, whereas the Egyptian civilization didn't even get started until approximately 3500 BCE. Â Narmer doesn't come along until ~3100 BCE.
It's just math. Unless someone has no ancestors whatsoever, it is mathematically plausible that within 2000 years you will be part of everyone's tree. Read the article I linked. It's bringing up stuff studied by people who literally do nothing but math every day of their lives, so I don't feel in the right to contradict them <_<;
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
