The Hymn to the Nile reflects the significance of the river in Egyptian society as all throughout the hymn the Nile is continually praised. They Nile was the source of all existence in Egypt as it created fertile soil, which in turn allowed for irrigation. Without the irrigation process then agriculture would have been virtually impossible, similar to that of Mesopotamia. In the hymn it is told that every God in Egypt loved and praised the Nile for its "gifts" to the society. As the people of Egypt loved the Nile and the Gods in turn also loved the Nile, the Nile then had a huge impact upon their society.
