Can you say something about your country that makes no sense?

I never understood why the South of Egypt is called upper Egypt 🤔

Upper Egypt is the southern portion of Egypt and is composed of the lands on both sides of the Nile that extend upriver from Lower Egypt in the north to Nubia in the south. -wikipedia-

Because that's the direction the Nile flows from. North being the "top of the world" is a relatively recent convention, and it's just a cartographic convention.
