Upper Egypt

Upper Egypt appears on the map from 2200 BCE to 2001 BCE. At its greatest recorded extent, in 2200 BCE, it covered about 19,657 km².

One of the realms of Ancient Egypt. Around 3100 BCE the farming chiefdoms along the Nile were united into a single kingdom, traditionally by Narmer. The river's yearly flood fed a dense population ruled by a god-king, the pharaoh, through scribes, priests and provincial governors.
