Why is upper Egypt south of lower Egypt?
if you look at a map of Egypt, Lower Egypt is above Upper Egypt. That causes a lot of confusion because it seems to be backwards.

The land in "Lower Egypt" is lower down at the coast.It's actually the way the Nile River flows. The Nile River flows downward, making below Upper Egypt and above Lower Egypt.I hoped this helped!-Middleschooler4 and ID3425419334Because upper Egypt (south) is higher then lower Egypt (north), that is why the nile goes from south to north (upper to lower).The entire civilization of Egypt was based on the Nile River, which provided trade and water for their crops. The Nile flows south to north, where it forms a delta on the Mediterranean Sea. So the Egypt at the beginning of the Nile is Upper Egypt (south) and at the downstream part is Lower Egypt (north).Upper and Lower Egypt also referred to as The Two Lands is a name used for Ancient Egypt. The concept appears in titles of Egyptian Kings and Queens and appears in scenes in temples and tombs. The concept also refers to an innate sense of duality in the Ancient Egyptian culture. The Egyptian expression sema-tawy is usually translated as "The Uniter of the Two Lands" and was depicted as a human windpipe entwined with the papyrus and lily plant. The windpipe stood for unification, while the papyrus and lily plant represent Upper and Lower Egypt.Hope this information will helpful for you. For know more you may visit that place.
