Memphis
Blues city, Tennessee
Memphis names two historically significant cities.
The ancient Egyptian capital stood near the Nile delta, serving as a center of power and culture for millennia.
The modern American city in Tennessee sits on the Mississippi River, known for blues music, Beale Street, and as the place where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.
Memphis barbecue refers to the city's distinctive slow-smoked pork tradition.
