| Description: Upper Egypt is below Lower Egypt on this map because the designations "upper" and "lower" refer to the directional flow of the Nile, not to our conventions for south and north in drawing maps. The two kingdoms were united c. 3000 BCE, just before the Early Dynastic period. According to legend, the country had evolved into Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. The art of Early Dynastic period shows the development of fundamental ideas about kingship and the cosmic order. The majority of surviving works have religious connotation, as they come from sturdy tombs and temples.
