Egypts Nile Valley South - Published 1995 by National Geographic
Historical & Archaeological Map | Upper Nile, Temples & Ancient Landscapes | Panoramic Format (793 × 254 mm) | Premium Finishes
A beautifully detailed map exploring the southern reaches of the Nile—where ancient Egypt reveals its monumental scale and enduring legacy. Published by National Geographic in January 1995, this edition pairs modern geographic clarity with a richly layered guide to Upper Egypt’s archaeological and historical landscape.
Designed as a companion to Egypt’s Nile Valley North and the article “Age of the Pyramids: Egypt’s Old Kingdom,” this map offers a deeper look into the regions where temples, settlements, and early civilisations flourished along the Nile’s southern course.
