Their livelihood relied on the river. It brought silt down to the fork of the river, which allowed crops to thrive. The Nile supplied water to majority of people, as Egypt is mostly desert and aided in fast travel. The Nile also gave ancient Egyptians access by ship or barge to the southern parts of their empire. The Nile and the Egyptians used boats and barges to ship food and supplies to areas of the empire, rather than having to rely on slower ground transportation. The granite and lime stones used to build temples and pyramids were transported by barges on the Nile.
