Ancient Egypt was divided into two regions: Upper and Lower Egypt. Lower (northern) Egypt consisted of the Nile River's delta made by the river as it empties into the Mediterranean. Today the Delta is fifteen thousand square miles of alluvium (silt), which has been deposited over the centuries by the annual flooding of the Nile. For much of Egypt's history, this area was only thinly settled, although it was used as a grazing area for cattle.

The people of ancient Egypt lived near th Nile river, who brought good harvests and wealth to the land.
Most ancient Egyptians worked as field hands, farmers, craftsmen and scribes, who lead by the most powerful person known as Pharaoh.

Try the British museum. Failing that, a Google (Oops, I meant Yahoo) search should provide a link to many sites. What specifically did you wish to know?
