Because of its location at the crossroads of the African and Asian continents, Egypt has been an important geographical and political power through history since the earliest of times. Ancient Egypt was divided into two regions : Upper Egypt and lower Egypt. Lower (northern) Egypt consisted of the Nile River's delta made by the river as it empties into the Mediterranean.
Upper Egypt was the long, narrow strip of ancient Egypt located south of the delta.
