ANCIENT EGYPTIAN GEOGRAPHY

 

From the same beginning of history and ever before, Egypt had been, is and will be a gift of the Nile. The egyptians obtained full understanding for thsi fact and trough all periods of their history they percepted a worldview imaging their lad as unique, separated from all world around and simultaneously it's geographic, cultural and mythical center. The Nile valley is surrounded by deadly deserts and seas and had natural borders serving as invincible strongholds - hard to be passed from each side. Altough, egyptians proved themselves as glorious conquerors and brave sailors, collecting taxes and gifts, goods and ideas from the whole region beyond their own land.
The second imanent division of Egyptian world is that between Lower Egypt: the large marches of the Nile Delta and Upper Egypt: the long and narrow valley between Delta and cataracts area. These two regions have ultimately different ecology and economy and not in vain the egyptians thought their country as Two Lands.
