If you were a merchant in ancient Egypt would you sell more goods in upper Egypt or lower Egypt and why?
you would sell more goods in LOWER (meaning Northern because that's the lower part of the river) Egypt, because that's where the Nile Delta is located, which is a major trade corridor. From the Nile Delta, ships can go by water to the Mediterranean, which can help the merchants get to Southern Europe and the Middle East. The Nile Delta is also close to Egypt's Capital and most populated city, Cairo, which is in the NORTHERN part of the country. Merchants could sell in Cairo, because of all the people there. The Sahara Desert is located in Southern Egypt. Because of this, SOUTHERN Egypt has the lowest population density of the whole nation. The only people that are there are nomadic herders, and merchants who travel by camel. So to answer this question, if you were a merchant in Egypt, you would sell more goods in NORTHERN (or lower) Egypt than in Southern Egypt. North is above, and Southern is below. Look it up
