South-west asia is basically up to where Africa joins onto Sauda Arabia. Look on an atlas where the two join, and when you get into Egypt, you're no longer in south-west asia.

Libya is in Africa, but Palestine is in asia.

Retjenu is the Egyptian term for a place in Palestine.

Bah, there are no good maps online. In any case Retjenu wouldn't be on it (1. very uncommon word, 2. wasn't even in Egypt), Libya wouldnt be (modern name), and neither would Palestine (also modern, but isn't even officially a country (according to us...)).

Coo.

Another kinda important thing, you're aware that Upper Egypt is in the south, and Lower Egypt in the north?
