Question

What were the eastern, western and northern boundaries of Egyptian settlement?

Answer 1

The eastern boundary of ancient Egyptian settlement was the eastern desert, which formed a natural barrier between Egypt and the rest of the eastern region, including the Sinai Peninsula. The western boundary was the Libyan Desert, which separated Egypt from the western territories. The northern boundary was the Mediterranean Sea, which provided Egypt with access to maritime trade and acted as a natural defense against invasions from the north.
