The system of wells, ditches, and water lifting devices allowed the farmers of the time to grow crops on land further away from water sources. This allowed a much larger population to congregate in one area than ever before. The roads and markets allowed for a wider distribution of these foods.

Because more people could live in a smaller area - a city by definition - more skills, and more diverse skills could be supported. This allowed merchants, artists, priests, bureacrats, politicians, craftsmen, architects and technicians to exist because they did not have to spend all of their time growing food, or hunting for it. They could simply buy it, or trade for it.

The roads allowed not only the transportation of food and manufactured goods. They facilitated the travel of armies to defend the current borders, and also to travel to conquer new territory.

The same developments in irrigation/roads/infra-structure had been made eariler in Sumeria/Babylon, but never to the extent that Egypt accomplished.

This dense concentration of people allowed for greater exchange of ideas. Some of the first universities were founded in Egypt. The library at Alexandria was the worlds largest repository of written knowlege for centuries.
