The Ancient Egyptians valued the Nile River because of many reasons. First, Egypt does not get much rainfall. So, people and animals drink from it. Second, the Nile supported sources of food, such as game like water buffalo or fish. Also, they watered their crops with it. When the Nile flooded, it left behind rich silt that would help the crops and the Egyptians by getting a good harvest and being healthy. With the Nile, people could create papyrus, a kind of paper made from the reeds that grow in the Nile. The Nile River was believed to be a gift, a present from the gods so that human life could be sustained.
