Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Upper Egypt
This term is used to identify the southern portion of the Nile river valley of Egypt.
The Nile flows from south to north and the designation of Upper Egypt signifies that you are going “up” the river, i.e., south; you might also consider that, since water flows downhill, the source of every river is higher in elevation than its terminal point and this would make the southern Nile the “upper” part of the river; the northern portion of the Nile river valley is conversely called Lower Egypt.
