Why is the inner map incorrect? It swaps Upper and Lower Egypt... That seems like a very amateur mistake. Is it on purpose?

Kristen Actually, although it seems counterintuitive, the map in the book is correct.

Ancient Egypt was divided into two regions, namely Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. To the north was Lower Egypt, where the Nile stretched out with its several branches to form the Nile Delta. To the south was Upper Egypt, stretching to Aswan.
