Egyptologie. Not Of This Earth - Ancient Egyptian Culture Part 1 / (6) Geography of Ancient Egypt: Ancient Egypt was divided into two realms: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.
Inside Lower Egypt, (the northern part), the Nile River's delta empties into the Mediterranean Sea. Prior to the New Kingdom (before about 1570 B.C.), the area was sparsely settled and used as a grazing area for cattle. Upper Egypt, (the southern part), was the long, narrow strip of land located south of the Delta. At the time, it represented roughly 3 percent of the land and supported nearly 100 percent of the population. Ancient Egyptian Calendar.
