Why do so many people live along the Nile river?

The Ancient Egyptians settled along the Nile River because it gave them a plentiful source of water which allowed them to farm. The the river would flood, then leave fertile silt, which grew excellent crops.


Why would people in Ancient Egypt prefer to live near a river?

The Nile is an unusual river, insofar as it flows through a flood plain most usually called the Nile Basin. Every summer the Nile floods the Basin, refreshing the soil with sediment and providing water for irrigation for miles on each side of the Basin. Without this annual renewal (thought by the ancient egyptians to be the personal work and responsibility of the Pharoah himself) the soil of the Basin would soon be exhausted and incapable of previding the crucial crops of flax and wheat. So, the people of ancient Egypt preferred to live near The Nile because that was where, literally, the soil and water was.


How did the Nile affect the lives of the early Egyptians and Nubian's?
