Why was it hard to invade ancient Egypt?

Well, it depends on which invasion you're talking about. There were many. The Italians tried, the Crusaders tried, the Romans tried, the French tried, the Muslims tried. But, I bet you're talking about the Romans, as that is most common. It would be best to look up Ancient Egypt in Wikipedia and scroll down to Roman domination. Or you just read the page on Ancient Egypt, in case the Romans were the wrong ones. Do some research, go to different sites and find out the structure and life of Egypt and its people. Learn about Egypt, then you'll have your answer.

Where were the fertile lands in ancient Egypt located?

Around the River Nile because silt was carried down and was clumped in a pile.The ancient Egyptians thought of Egypt as being divided into two types of land, the ''black land'' and the ''red land''.The ''black land'' was the fertile land on the banks of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians used this land for growing their crops. This was the only land in ancient Egypt that could be farmed because a layer of rich, black silt was deposited there every year after the Nile flooded.The ''red land'' was the barren desert that protected Egypt on two sides. These deserts separated ancient Egypt from neighboring countries and invading armies. They also provided the ancient Egyptians with a source for precious metals and semi-precious stones.


What were the downfalls or weakness of ancient Egypt?

There isn't really a single weakness that affected the Egyptians, there were many weaknesses to the empire. The most well known failing was that the economy was founded on the grain which was supplied by the fields flooded by the River Nile. If the Nile over flooded or failed to flood sufficiently then the fertiliser rich soil washed down from Africa wasn't deposited in the fields and the crop would fail. This in turn, would result in famine. So one of their weaknesses was the reliance on a single crop. The downfall of Egypt started with the conquest of what is now known as Alexandria in Egypt by Alexandra the great. By putting his general Ptolemy in charge he started a dynasty which ended with the death of Cleopatra the last Pharaoh and the annexing of Egypt by the Romans.
