Upper Egypt

Egypt consisted of two Divisions, Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.
Upper Egypt was a rocky canyon, consisting of two narrow strips of land on either side of the Nile, bordered by mountain ranges. Lower Egypt consisted of the Nile Delta a flat and featureless land which was agriculturally productive.

The capital of Upper Egypt was Thebes.
The emblem of Upper Egypt was a Lotus Flower and the emblem of Lower Egypt was a Bee.
Ancient Egypt was originally two different Kingdoms with different dialects and customs, which were eventually united together by the Pharaohs, around 3,100 BCE.
Egypt consisted of the Nile Delta and two narrow strips of land on either side of the Nile.
The two Divisions were then subdivided into Nomes based on City States. This system had remained virtually unchanged for 3,000 years until the Reforms of Diocletian in 307-8 CE, when they were subdivided into smaller units called Pagi.

The capital of Lower Egypt was Heliopolis.
Lower Egypt included the Nile Delta, and had 20 Nomes or Divisions which were numbered 1 to 20 from south to north in each area. Memphis (near Cairo) was Nome number 1.

Located near Cairo, it was built on 30° N, and commanded the Border between Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt. It was the collection point for Tolls paid on the Nile in either direction. (The area between Cairo and the Qena Bend is sometimes known as Middle Egypt, although technically it is a part of Upper Egypt.)
