The Nile River flowed through a desert. The annual flooding of the Nile brought water and fresh silt, making a fertile strip which supported abundant crops, which supported the population.
The rivers, like the Nile, and the sea
The Nile river, which was very useful for irrigation supported farming in ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians made canals that connected directly to the Nile. They then made sluices that gave water from the canals to farms. Farming was the key to the development of Egyptian civilization.

At over 4,000 miles long, the Nile River is the longest river in the world. The Nile flows through or near parts of Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt.
The Nile River supported a large, settled population on its banks, and it allowed the Egyptians to traded with their southern neighbors the Nubians. The Nile was home to crocodiles and hippopotamuses, which appear as deities and fearsome mythical creatures in ancient Egyptian religion.

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.
