How did the Nile River benefit the ancient Egyptians?

Answer 1

ancient Egypt could not have existed without the river Nile. Since rainfall is almost non-existent in Egypt, the floods provided the only source of moisture to sustain crops. Every year, it would inundate (flood) the surrounding area, leaving a layer of fresh, fertile silt that was able to be used to make mud brick and to act as a fertilizer.

The Nile provided the Egyptians with a permanent water source and animals and fish to hunt and catch for food.

It could be traveled on both ways without any rowing because the current flowed the opposite way as the wind. It also gave the Egyptians a way to get to the Mediterranean Sea through the Nile delta. Most cities were built either along or very close to the Nile because of these conveniences.

Also reeds, called papyrus, grew along side the Nile. The Egyptians made paper and boats from the reeds. They also used it for fishing and transport.

Answer 2

The Nile River could help grow crops and be a use of transportation of goods to different countries. The Nile River's fertile soil would be able to support different types of life and plants making Egypt rise up in trade.
