Probably not many. The Nile, in Egypt, was and is very important to Egyptians because of a food source, silt in the floods, and transportation. Most Egyptian civilizations are close to the Nile. About 3-6 miles, mabey if not more.

Is McArthur River miles away from Perth and Sydney?

Perth and Sydney are about 2,500 miles away from eachother, so the McArthur River must be miles away from one of them. Your best bet is to look up the McArthur River in an atlas, then you will get a picture of the relationship between all three. I assume you know that Perth and Sydney are in Australia.


How was farming possible in Egypt?

Farming was only possible in Egypt in the flood plains of the Nile river. Every year the Nile floods, carrying nutrient-rich silt over the flood plains and fertilizing the fields on both sides of the river. Water flowing through the Nile is fresh and was used for irrigation on the fields. Away from the water of the Nile River, Egypt has a desert climate and farming is either subsistence or impossible.
