Hello there!

Back in the days of the early Egyptians, they did not know about "north" or "south." Due to this, they did not think to orient their kingdom in the way we do now. They took the Nile River, which flows from south to north as their reference. Therefore, the southern part was known as "Upper Egypt" while the northern region was called "Lower Egypt."

I hope this helps!

Why a tsunami often causes a rapid withdrawal?
guajiro [1.7K]
The shockwave from an undersea earthquake causes 'ripples' in the ocean which are very large swells. When the bottom of the swell touches land, it must build up higher to maintain it's size. Therefore when it approaches the beach, water is drawn away from the beach to compensate for the ocean depth getting shallower under the tsunami swell. More water is drawn from in front of the swell than behind due to the movement of the swell.

Maurya India characteristics
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation:

Mauryan empire, in ancient India, a state centred at Pataliputra (later Patna) near the junction of the Son and Ganges (Ganga) rivers. It lasted from about 321 to 185 BCE and was the first empire to encompass most of the Indian subcontinent.

Gupta Empire of Chandragupta II

After gaining power, Chandragupta II expanded the Gupta Empire through conquest and political marriages until the end of his reign in 413 CE. By 395 CE, his control over India extended coast-to-coast. Just like Ashoka, Chandragupta II made Pataliputra the capital of his empire and centralized the government there. He used tribute money from allies to fund government projects and salaries. Unlike Ashoka, Chandragupta did not rely on a network of spies or closely monitor the affairs of foreigners or allies. Instead, he let regions make their own decisions about administration and local governance.

Some scholars have argued that the Gupta empire was a golden age of India. The empire was marked by peace and public safety, and scholars flourished in this environment. Kalidasa, a poet of the time, is considered the greatest poet and dramatist of the Sanskrit language. Aryabhata, who lived during Gupta empire, was the first of the Indian mathematician-astronomers who worked on the approximation for Pi. Vishnu Sharma is thought to be the author of the Panchatantra fables, one of the most widely-translated non-religious books in history.

The Gupta empire ended with the invasion of the White Huns, a nomadic tribe of people from central Asia, at the end of the fifth century CE. Until the sixteenth century, there was no unifying empire; regional political kingdoms ruled India.
