social evolution in each of the two areas, he or she will find pertinence to primary environmental factors and how those factors might be considered both limiting and enabling in
terms of socioeconomic development, as well as the importance of critical factors that contribute to the development of complex societies. II. THE SEPARATION The geographic composition of ancient Egypt
reflected Lower Egypt in the northern region, which occupied the Nile Rivers delta that formed "as it empties into the Mediterranean" (Orientation), while Upper Egypt resided south of the Delta.
In terms of ancient Egypts geographical positioning, the "long, narrow strip" (Orientation) of Upper Egypt was comprised of four distinctive zones that have since been identified by modern topography:
the Nile River, the flood plain and the low & high deserts. Lower Egyptians lived amidst what was considered to be almost uninhabitable terrain, with centuries of annual Nile
flooding creating what is now fifteen thousand square miles of silt where the primary land usage was that of cattle grazing due to the lands limiting aspects of socioeconomic development
(Orientation). (Orientation) Upper and Lower Egypt unified in approximately 3,000 BC and became a single, united kingdom under the dynastys first king, Menes; from this point forward, thirty
dynasties would continue this arrangement of unification. One of the critical factors that contributed to the development of complex cities was the effort Menes made to ensure the unification
would become sealed for good: founding a capital city called White Walls - now called Memphis - that resided at point where the two otherwise separated cities converged. This
particular location, which reflected the apex of the Nile, expanded throughout the fertile silt plain that proved beneficial to further development. This unprecedented
