The Nile River is what gave ancient Egypt its wealth.

With the river's annual floods, vast floodplains were enriched with rich soil and silt washed down from central Africa.

The result of all this rich agricultural land allowed the Egyptians to grow vast amounts of grains like wheat. The annual harvest became so bountiful that not only did it free up the time of the Egyptians so they could develop their culture, but they also gained tremendous wealth and power by exporting their grain to other countries in the region.

Egypt was known as the breadbasket of the Middle East.
