Answer

In 435, Nestorius was exiled to Upper Egypt as a result of his condemnation by the Council of Ephesus. Nestorius, the Archbishop of Constantinople, faced accusations of heresy for promoting a theological concept that distinguished between the divine and human natures of Jesus Christ. The council deemed this teaching as a departure from orthodox belief, leading to his banishment to the Egyptian desert as punishment.
