∙ 13y agoThe Nile River was a very important part of the Ancient Egyptians. They bathed in it, drank from it, grew crops in it, and basically, it helped them survive. Without the Nile River, there would be very few Ancient Egyptians that survived.

When it overflows in Egypt, it deposits the sediment fertilizing the land for the Egyptian crops to grow. Without the Nile, this flooded area would just be part of the desert and there would be no Egyptian civilization.
