Because the river Nile flows through it.
The Nile River Valley helped ancient Egypt prosper in terms of agriculture. The floods of the Nile watered farmlands and the Nile was a source of irrigation as well. In this manner the Nile River, a geographical term, helped ancient Egypt become a dominating empire in its time.
The five agricultural hearths are believed to be the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East, the Nile River Valley in Egypt, the Indus River Valley in South Asia, the Yellow River Valley in China, and Mesoamerica in Mexico and Central America. These regions were where agriculture independently developed and spread to other parts of the world.
At its widest point, the Nile Valley at its mouth can reach up to about 12 miles (19 kilometers) wide. This broadening of the valley occurs as the river empties into the Mediterranean Sea, forming the Nile Delta.
Ancient people began settling the Nile River valley around 5000 BCE during the Neolithic period. The fertile soil, consistent water supply, and natural resources of the Nile made it an attractive place for early civilizations to establish settlements and develop agricultural societies.
