The River Nile

The Nile River is the longest river in world, running the length of over 4,258 miles through eleven countries including, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan Sudan and Egypt. Over its course it passes through a lot of cities, but the most well known ones with five letters are:

Cairo, Aswan, Luxor in Egypt, Jinja in Uganda, Shenji and Korti in Sudan.

The most common one was the Egyptian's.

The Nile is freshwater.

it is Khartoum the capitol of Sudan.

it is located where the Blue Nile connected with the White Nile where the River Nile begins.

the Blue Nile is called so because its water is more muddy, where the White Nile's water is clear.

Yes, caused by numerous things such as - industry, new construction and the use of the river by watercraft, especially to dispose of their waste - including floating houses and the river commercial fleet comprised of more than 3000 boats. Around 200 cruisers, 500 boats for passengers, 1600 boats for carrying commodities and 300 motor boats, in addition to 400 floating hotels. The links below addresses just one aspect of construction and a paper on pollution

The Sahara lies west of the Nile River in Africa.

Yes, it was there only water supply. They also bathed in it, and cleaned themselves in it.

In ancient times water was normally collected from wells located along the banks of the river; this manged to filter the water to a certain degree from harmful pathogens.

Water was also cooled and filtered (and still is to present day) in baked clay pots; these act as water filters and remove silt and many pathogens from the water although it would probably still harboured certain bacteria.

The only relatively safe way to purify this water would be to boil it.

In its journey of over 4,000 miles through various countries it flows through a landscape of extremes which vary from jungle to desert to deep gorges and every conceivable type in between including a rainforest.

The Libyan Desert covers those areas mentioned in your question. It is a sub region of the larger Sahara.

Blue Nile White Nile Atbara River

The Nile River floods annually, bringing fresh fertilizer to the crops. The floods can not be controlled and would occasionally destroy crops, drown homes, and or overflow the banks to heavily.

it gave them silt when it flooded.It also gave them water for irrigation so they could water their crop's.It also help them with their daily life when they took bath wash their clothes and clean their dishes .they also did two more things it gave them food like fish and transportation to get to places.

what are some ancient cities or settlements along the nile river

they used flood control. they built their houses on high ground so that the flood water would not destry their houses

The Nile overflows its banks annually and floods surrounding land which is thereby watered; it is a form of natural irrigation, upon which Egyptian agriculture has always depended. Without that convenient source of water, agriculture would have been much more difficult and human civilization would accordingly have been much less likely to develop and flourish in that location.

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.

Given the tens of millions of people and the 4,000 mile length the question refers to - numerous religions especially all the main stream one, Christianity, Islam etc.

The Sun- Gods name was Ra ( Also known as Re, Amun- Ra, Amun-Re) It is said that everyday he would sail across the sky to become the sun. In order to become the sun he had to pass through 12 gates. Without Ra there was no light, that is why he was worshipped.

The Aswan Dam was built in 1956 to control the Nile River floods and produce electricity. Before the dams were built, the Nile River flooded every year during late summer, when water flowed down the valley from its East African drainage basin.

Compared with a lot of rivers transporting goods on the River Nile was relatively easy, you drifted with the current northwards and as the prevailing wind blowing from the north you allowed you to sail against the current going south.

One hazard of the river affected passage in both directions were the ever shifting sandbars.

Obviously heading north was easiest as the river current flows all the time. In the southerly direction there are days of contrary winds and of no wind at all. This meant you did not move at all or had to rely on rowers or gangs of men towing from the river bank.

Egypt is a desert area and the only source of water for growing crops was that of the Nile. The annual flood of the Nile inundated the Nile delta area and provided the water and new fertile silt necessary for farmers to grow their crops.

The pharaohs did not so much as wear special clothing as they would wear their crowns. the white and red combination crowns which connoted the united upper and lower kingdoms and also the uraeus which could have been attached the crown or worn alone.

The Nile River provided as a route of transportation. The water takes you north, and the wind takes you south. Other than Mesopotamia, the Nile River Vally has the richest soil. The Nile River also provided protection from other civilizations. Until they were conquered by the Harrapans who came from the north.
