Upper and Lower Egypt By Cindy Grigg

---

¹     Once, Egypt was divided. There were two kingdoms in Egypt. They were called Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt was the land around the mouth of the Nile River in northern Egypt. Upper Egypt was in the south.
 
²     Meni, or Menes in the Greek language, was a king of Upper Egypt. Menes was also called Aha. He is believed to have conquered Lower Egypt around 3100 B.C. He became the first king or pharaoh to control all of Egypt. His rule is known as the 1st Dynasty.
 
³     Experts are not sure that Menes really existed. Some believe that the first king was named Narmer. Some believe Menes and Narmer were the same man. Others disagree.
