Disestablishment
January 3249 BC: Evidence suggest strongly that Egypt, in the period immediately preceding the foundation of the First Dynasty, was divided into two independent kingdoms: a northern kingdom, which included the Nile Delta and extended southwards perhaps to the neighbourhood of the modern village of Atfih (Lower Egypt) and a southern kingdom comprising the territory between Atfih and Gebel es Silsila (Upper Egypt). Upper and Lower Egypt possibly emerged from previous petty kingdoms, the Egyptian Nomi.
