Where was Egypt ?

Egypt grew around the river Nile. It was known by Herodoto as the gift of the Nile

The banks of the river Nile were the only fertile lands of Egypt.
The river flooded every summer its banks and fertilised the lands with that remained once waters decreased.
Many canals and dikes were built to use of all that water for agriculture and human settlements.
The Nile was the main route in Egypt.
Egypt had two major regions:

• Upper Egypt (in the south). It was at middle course of the river Nile. It was a narrow valley surrounded by the desert. Its capital was Thebes.
• Lower Egypt (in the north). It was the delta of the river Nile. Its lands were marshy and low. Its main city was Menphis.
