The Nile river was literally the life of Egypt. It provided a means of linking the upper and lower regions. It provided them with water and fish. It flooded annually and when the flood waters receded they left a fertile soil that made very productive farming. Egypt was known as the breadbasket of the Mediterranean. The Nile was also the home of the papyrus reed of which ancient "paper" was made. Overall, the Nile was life-giving and wealth producing.
