The short answer is - everything. Because of the water, food and transport it provided they settled nearby. They were therefore able to build their ancient civilisations and cities and monuments including the pyramids and the Sphinx. 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, heavy summer rain in the Ethiopian highlands, sent a torrent of water that overflowed the banks of the Nile. This left thick rich mud (black silt) which was excellent soil to plant seeds in. Basically, without the Nile Africa would be quite different, there most likely be no Egypt etc just desert. However knowledge regarding the cities, towns and settlements of Ancient Egypt in general is very limited. The links below will give the best overview of this subject.
