In excess of 100 million people live along the Nile mostly in Egypt and the Nile has been the source of civilization for over 5,000 years. So we are speaking about a vast time span. The greatest of these civilizations belongs to ancient Egypt. After this other cultures included Nubia, belonging to the region of modern Sudan. Following those other important cultures arose in Egypt - First were the Roman and Coptic periods. These were followed by a number of strong Muslim states - including, the Fatimids, the Ayyubids and finally the Mamluks. Since the 1700's the cultures around the Nile have been weak and poor. Modern Egypt and Sudan are the poorest countries in North Africa and the Middle East, with enormous problems - especially uncontrolled population growth. The Nile encouraged settlement and cultures because it gave life in the form of water, for without it there would be no Egypt or Sudan as we know it, only desert.
