Why does the Nile flows upstream?
It does not. Actually it does. I'm in 6th grade and learning about that.The Nile flows upstream because of gravity. The majority of the Nile runs south to north because of gravity. However, there are also parts of the river that run north to south, ex. about 200 miles in Sudan. At no point, however, can the river run upstream. Upstream by definition is opposite the flow of the river (Merriam-Webster).

What were the two regions of ancient Egypt and where were they located?
Egypt was (and is) a country dominated by the Nile River. During ancient times, Egypt was divided, though not formally, into Upper and Lower regions, which had to do with the course of the Nile River. The Nile flows from south to north, and therefore the southern portion is higher in elevation, thus this was known as 'upper Egypt' - lower Egypt was the area from around the Aswan cataracts to the delta north of Cairo. We here in the US sometimes have a hard time getting this, because most of our major rivers run NORTH to SOUTH (The Mississippi, the Hudson, etc) so we have trouble seeing a river that runs SOUTH to NORTH like the Nile.
