The main negative aspect was that the people of the Nile valley which has always been the most densely populated area of Egypt were at the rivers mercy.

The Nilometers which were set at regular intervals allowed those who lived down river warning if there was going to be a danger of flood.

But nothing could could be done to reduce the height of river which every few years would sweep away houses,stock and leave behind death and the danger of disease from rotting carcasses of animals and the unfortunate people caught in its fury.

Disease could also be carried by plagues of mosquito's in the time of inundation that carried the malaria virus and Nile Valley fever.

Parasitic worms that can hardly be seen but thrive in the water could cause premanant damage to the stomach and intestines if those who were infested.

There was also the ever present danger of an attack by crocodiles or hippopotomi that once lived all along the Nile and in the delta tribuaries.Both could easily up turn a boat and tear a man in two with their powerful jaws.

We are so excited anout the Ancient Egyptians! These are our facts:The Egyptians bevleied in life after death. They bevleied that they had to preserve their bodies so they could use them in the afterlife.The Egyptians bevleied that when they died, they would make a journey to another world where they would lead a new life. They would need all the things they had used when they were alive, so their families would put those things in their graves. Egyptians paid vast amounts of money to have their bodies properly preserved. Egyptians who were poor were buried in the sand whilst the rich ones were buried in a tomb.
