The River Nile

The great historian also called Egypt the gift of the Nile.

Aswan High Dam

Egypt was called the "Gift of the Nile" for 5 reasons. Firstly they used the black land (mud) left after the Nile's yearly flood to farm. This mud was very very fertile and because of this they had a surplus of food. Egyptians decided to sell this food, so, developing better ships, allowed themselves to export and gain wealth. It was also a source of fishing, and they invented irrigation ditches to irrigate their farms. The Nile also provided water for the Egyptians.

About a quarter of a mile.

the major river systems have to do with the Nile river. the Nile river provided transportation, water, and also allowed agriculture to take place. Also Nile river was the reason why Egypt is called "the gift of the Nile."

The Nile River provided transportation for the Egyptians and enabled them to interact with other civilizations along the Nile such as the kingdom of Kush. This transportation would become important to the Ancient Egyptians in the New Kingdom when the empire would spread along the Nile. For these reasons, the transportation provided by the Nile was another key asset for the formation of Egyptian society along the Nile River.

Egyptians used the nile for transport to build pyramids. They used boats called fellucas. They had to use the nile as their main transport system because they could not move 20,000 tones of brick by just pulling on the sand. This way also was time constuming.

The Nile is a river. Water from it was irrigated to water agricultural crops like corn, wheat. Humans and animals need water to survive, so people lived as close as they could to the river. However, the Nile would flood over during heavy rains. The river was also used for transportation (boats)

Like every other country the useage of water is to survive and to meet your basic needs. In Egypt because it was so hot they especially really needed water. Their main source to get that was the Nile River. They could get water there to drink, to cook, to grow crops etc. The River Nile was very important to them.

Since i dont know ALL of them...il name a few of my favorites and some of the most famous Queen Hatshepsut King Tutankhamen (or King Tut) Ramses II (or Ramses the Great) Queen Nefertiti King Seti I Queen Cleopatra Well I hope that helped!

Simply without the Nile there would be no Egypt just desert, it is Egypt's only river. The river provided a source of water and life in the form of fertile soil to grow food and the annual flood provided extra water and more fertile soil in the form of the silt it left behind. It also provided a means of transport especially in the building of the pyramids etc.

Without the Nile the Egyptians would be desert nomads.

Ancient Egypt was home to about 5 million people which would be about equal to the number of people living in Colorado. Most of ancient Egyptians lived in the fertile Nile River valley and delta which is found at the mouth of the river. These two areas only make up 3 percent of Egypt and are densely populated even today. I hope this helps

The Nile River had a great amount of influence on ancient Egyptian life. The floods controlled when people could grow crops.

It depends upon the hymn; also it is important to keep in mind that the Nile was often a part of a title of many Egyptian gods and goddesses and there are often misunderstandings in translation which becomes miscommunication.

The geographie in Egypt is mostly desert. Without the nile, there would be no source of water and food. It is even used for transportation and to produce electricity.

Egyptian boats were used for taking great pharaohs to funeral's, and transporting the sun dried mud bricks to the pryamid building site.

It helped with water source and without water people, plants, and animals will die

the nile is important because to the egyptians, it is fresh water. it also gives food such as: fish and around the area there are birds to hunt.lastly, it is good to farm there because after the nile floods it leaves behind silt; rich soil

The terms relate to the direction of the flow of the Nile, which flows from south to north and empties into the Mediterranean at the delta. The custom of drawing maps with north at the top and south at the bottom is just a custom. There is no real "up" or "down" to those directions, just orientation on a page. == ==

The farmers watched for ibises (white birds) which flew up from the south. When the birds came, the annual flood would soon come after. The Egyptians planned for the flooding by cleaning out their irrigation channels so that the water from the Nile can flow to the built reservoirs where the Egyptians' stored water for the drought seasons and their fields where they grew their crops as a source of food..

The Nile River Is The Longest River In the World. IN Egypt if the nile overflowed the crops wouldve drowned of water. if it didnt flood it would feed the crops good. the nile river had silt in it. there are many other reasons to check it on google or something

Ancient Egyptian religion was based primarily on nature. This was because of the economic dependence of Egyptians on the Nile. The Egyptians prayed for the floodwaters of the Nile, and even created a separate god for the Nile named Hapi.

The Nile also symbolized life and afterlife. All tombs and burial places of the Ancient Egyptians, including pyramids, are located on the West Bank of the Nile River because the sun rose in the East, symbolizing birth, and set in the West, symbolizing death.

Religion has been used as a means of social control. Christianity has been used to keep conquered peoples subservient. Religion can be used to promote political agendas.

Religion can also use the power of empire to enrich and promote itself as an institution.

it's on the River Nile in Egypt

Benefits of the Aswan dam is it has had a positive effect on population growing.

Concerns of the Aswan dam was forced to be relocated.
