El Lower egypt that was located to the north was formed by 20 provinces and its most important cities were Buto and Sais. It had its own pharaoh, its kings wore an elongated red crown and they worshiped the cobra.
El Upper Egypt for its part is composed of 22 provinces, its main cities were Hieracómpolis and Nejeb. Like the Bajo they also had a pharaoh of their own, the crown of their kings was white and their goddess was a vulture. Around 3100 BC King Menes of Upper Egypt invaded Lower Egypt unifying both kingdoms. Menes became the first sovereign and was described as the "unifier of both countries."
