Geography of Ancient Egypt

- The Nile shaped the Egyptian life

- The Nile River brought life to Egypt and

enabled it to thrive. The river was so important
to people in this region that the Greek historians
called Egypt the gift of the Nile.

- Ancient Egypt included two regions, a southern

region and a northern region. The southern region
was called Upper Egypt. It was so named because
it was located upriver in relation to the Nile’s
flow. Lower Egypt, the northern region, was
located downriver.
