Ancient Egyptian Civilization
Ancient Egyptian Civilization
Lower Egypt is a territory located north of the land in the Nile Delta region and is characterized by economic progress. Upper Egypt is located in the southern part of the country, on the mountain and desert reliefs, along the Nile Valley area, and is characterized by lower fertility of the soil and a poorer economy.
The unification of the two territories in the New Kingdom started in Upper Egypt and is symbolized by the representation of the double crown of sovereigns, one white and one red, symbolizing the valley and the Nile delta. Egyptian civilization evolved along the Nile river.
The cyclic flooding of the Nile has always made the land very fertile and the Egyptian civilization has developed to become one of the first monumental civilizations in human history.
