Note 16 — V THE HYMN TO THE ATON
Reading edition
The Two Lands are: Upper Egypt, the Nile Valley from the First Cataract to the head of the Delta; and Lower Egypt, the Delta region. The two Egypts were united ca. 3000 B.C. to form the united Egypt of subsequent history. Pharaohs continued to bear the title, “King of Upper and Lower Egypt” throughout ancient Egyptian history.
