Upper Egypt

Japanese: 上エジプト - かみエジプト(英語表記)Upper Egypt
Upper Egypt
A geographical and cultural division of Egypt that refers to the Nile River Valley south of 30° north latitude. It is used in contrast to Lower Egypt, which lies north of 30° north latitude and is in the delta region. Towards the end of the 4th millennium BC, the kingdom of Upper Egypt emerged by unifying many tribal nations, forming a separate state from Lower Egypt, but around 3000 BC, the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt was achieved when Lower Egypt conquered Upper Egypt. It is said that this was under the leadership of King Menes. From then on, Egyptian kings were called "kings of Upper and Lower Egypt."
