I am not sure exactly when Egypt split into upper and lower, but I do know why it split. Egypt was turned into upper and lower because of the Nile river. The Nile river flowed upwards toward the Mediterranean Sea so the beginning of the river is called lower Egypt, and the part near the the Nile delta is upper Egypt.

In dynasties 7-10, another split ocurred .(2181-2040 BC).
