south
Ancient Egypt's southern kingdom was called Nubia.
One ancient civilization that included two regions, a southern region and a northern region, is Ancient Egypt. The southern region, known as Upper Egypt, was located along the Nile River in the southern part of the country, while the northern region, known as Lower Egypt, was located in the Nile Delta region in the north. These two regions were eventually united under the rule of the pharaohs, creating a single kingdom.
