Lower And Upper Egypt
Egypt was separated into two parts, Upper and Lower Egypt. Upper Egypt was the southern part; it stretched for over 500 miles from the first cataract northward to the beginning of the Nile Delta. A Delta is a triangle of wet marshlands. Lower Egypt was the northern part. Each of the sections had their own king, and they had two different crowns separating the two lands. There was the white and the red crown. The red crown was shaped with a back and a curly cue in the front, and the white crown looked pretty much like a bowling pin.
