two kingdoms by njersey001

Ancient Egypt was divided into two kingdoms, known as Upper and Lower Egypt. The pharaohs were known as the rulers of the Two Kingdoms, viz. upper and lower Egypt. While the labelling of “upper” and “lower” might seem counterintuitive, with Upper Egypt in the south and Lower Egypt in the north on modern maps, the terminology derives from the flow of the Nile from the highlands of East Africa (upstream) to the Mediterranean Sea (downstream).

Egypt was great. If you appreciate history at all it’s a really interesting vacation. If you’re female i HIGHLY suggest that you wear something that covers at least your elbows and knees, hair too if at all possible. And as always when in a strange place, keep your money belt under your clothing and hidden well and your fanny pack front-facing.

Has Anyone Seen? by FlyGirl

The Discovery Channel on Fridays lately? Every Friday, they have specials on Egyptian history. Very interesting and intriguing. They are whetting my appetite to go there.

Cairo NE1? by FlyGirl

Egypt has always intrigued me — the history, the art, and the romance of the place.
