Since the Nile River flows upward, Egypt is practically upside down. As a result, the ruling Pharaohs preferred the upper or Northern part of the river and country. This part of the country was crucial to their respective kingdoms and trade routes.

Why is the Nile Delta area called Lower Egypt?
A river always flows from the highest to lowest elevation, and so Lower Egypt is in the North and Upper Egypt is in the South. It seems backwards, but it does make sense because Lower Egypt has lower elevation than Upper Egypt so the delta empties there. It obviously makes more sense that a river flows downhill instead of uphill.
What advantages does Lower Egypt have to Upper Egypt?
There were few advantages either side had, but it was mostly trading. Upper Egypt had access to the sea, and was able to trade with plenty of other nations. Lower Egypt, however, had acess to Nubia, which the primary source of slaves, ivory and other commodities for Egypt. Also, Upper Egypt had a more secluded location, which meant less enemies to fight from the border. Lower Egypt was situated next to multiple African enemies.
How will more goods be sold in upper Egypt or in lower Egypt and why?
You would sell more goods in Lower Egypt as that is where the nile delta is and this would act like a port and goods could be shipped to other places further in the river.
What did the double crown of Egypt symbolises?
In Ancient Egypt, the land was divided into two parts. They were Lower and Upper Egypt. Their names were backwards- Lower Egypt is more up north, towards the Nile Delta, than Upper Egypt, which is towards where the Nile starts. Each one of the two parts had its own pharaoh. The Upper Pharaoh wore the Hedjet, the crown of Upper Egypt, and the Pharaoh of Lower Egypt wore the Deshret. If a single pharaoh could manage to unite both Upper and Lower Egypt to create one big Egypt, he was The best. He was all-powerful, almost a god. If you could do this, the people would literally worship you. If you could unite the two parts of Egypt, you could fit the Hedjet into the Deshret to make the Sekhemti, also called the Pschent. The two crowns, Hedjet for Upper Egypt, and the Deshret for Lower Egypt, were specifically made for this purpose- they were actually made to fit together like puzzle pieces. If you could wear the Pschent, you were the ultimate Pharaoh. You were almost a god.
Which half of Egypt was more important- Upper or Lower?
LOWER EGPYT was a much more valuable area to control. First of all, the Nile Delta, which formed a significant part of Lower Egypt, provided for a very extensive area for farming. Additionally, since Lower Egypt was on the Mediterranean Sea, it was the principal place of trade with neighboring kingdoms and other Mediterranean civilizations. By contrast, Upper Egypt was relatively constrained to the Nile River and could only really trade with the Nubians and Kushites.

How is lower Egypt different from upper Egypt?
Ancient Egypt was divided into two regions, known as Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. To the north was Lower Egypt where the Nile stretched out with its several branches to form the Nile Delta. To the south was Upper Egypt, stretching to Syene. The two kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were united c. 3000 BCE, but each maintained its own regalia. Thus, the pharaohs were known as the rulers of the Two Kingdoms (alternatively: Two Lands), and wore the pschent, a double crown, each half representing sovereignty of one of the kingdoms.The terminology "Upper" and "Lower" derives from the flow of the Nile from the highlands of East Africa northwards to the Mediterranean Sea, so Upper Egypt lies to the south of Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt mostly consists of the Nile Delta.There were a number of differences between Upper and Lower Egyptians in the ancient world. They spoke different dialects and had different customs. Many of these differences, and the occasional tensions they created, still exist in modern times.The combination of both upper and lower Egypt was accomplished by warrior-king Menes
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. On the map, Upper Egypt is lower than Lower Egypt.Most people and books will tell you that "Upper Egypt" is called that because the land is higher up in the mountains. 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.
