When Aristotle is describing what he thinks might be a route to circle around to the headwaters of the Nile and travel down it to conquer Egypt, he refers to going "up the Nile," rather than down it. This may be due to the modern map convention of showing North at the top of maps and referring to traveling in a northerly direction as going "up". The Nile River flows from South to North and thus traveling down the river is going North.
