LET'S GET THE FACTS!
Ancient Egypt was divided into two regions: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt contains the Nile River delta, which is made by the river as it empties into the Mediterranean Sea. Upper Egypt consists of the narrow strip of land located south of the delta. Egypt is located in north eastern Africa. The Nile River flows south to north through the entire length of the country. It begins in the mountains of Africa, and empties into the Mediterranean Sea. Egypt is surrounded by natural barriers. The desert, mountains, and Mediterranean Sea provided protection. The climate of Ancient Egypt was hot and dry, as it is part of the Sahara Desert. The Nile River Delta is 65 miles long. It is a rich agricultural region, with the most fertile soil in Africa. Silt was a rich soil that made farming easier and allowed Egyptians to create a surplus of food.
