The Nile River shaped Ancient Egypt through farming and religion. In Document B, it states that Egyptians created their calendar based on the Nile flood seasons. Farmers depended on the Nile for watering crops. Ancient Egypt’s 3 season calendar is based upon the Nile flood each year: Akhet (flood season), Peret (planting and growing season), and Shemu (harvest season). In Document D, it states that the Nile created the passage to “The Field of Reeds”, or Heaven, allowed civilization…
Ancient Egypt was one of the world’s most developed civilizations for almost 3,000 years. In fact, four of the world's most important ancient cultures are known as the river civilizations. They were called the river civilizations because of the powerful influence a large river system had on the lives of people. The river system the Egyptians had to live off of was called the Nile River. Vitally important to Ancient Egypt, the Nile River provided significant social, cultural, and economic development.…
To do so the Nile maintained that for that for the people it served them fish for food, fresh water to drink, bathe, and the water was also useful for their crops. During planting/growing season the Nile filled irrigation canals and crops were planted and tended and crops in the Lower Nile were harvested then later brought to the market. This information was found from document B of The Nile River Flood Cycle. This was very important for survival and if you settled close to the Nile you had a good start to expanding your civilization or group.…

Germanic peoples occupied much of the present-day territory of Germany during the Bronze and early Iron Ages. When Rome was expanding northwards, Germanic groups were expanding southwards into what is present day Southern Germany. The Germanic agricultural system was vital to the economy. Many of the Germans were herders, but some of them were farmers. They grew wheat, barley, oats, and rye.…
Historians and archeologists have found evidence of human civilization in the Nile Valley dating as far back as 120,000 years ago. Over time, population began to grow and divide itself into two kingdoms, Upper and Lower Egypt. Around 3150 B.C., a pharaoh from the Early Dynastic Period gained control of both kingdoms uniting them to form the Egypt known today. With a population of 90 million, it makes Egypt the third most populated country in all of Africa. Roughly, 20 percent of this population lives within 20 kilometers of the Nile River.…
The Role of Geography on Egypt and Mesopotamia Both regions experienced an influx of previous nomadic peoples during the latter Neolithic period in what became the Agricultural Revolution. In Egypt, the Nile River overflowed its banks annually, depositing rich natural fertilizing elements that enabled Egyptians to grow wheat and barley, often providing a surplus. While the yearly rise of the Nile in Egypt was predictable, this was not the case in Mesopotamia. Both the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers frequently caused destructive floods, inundating villages and cities, killing people and livestock.…
Where Egypt is located it prevents invasion, and it also limits how many people can settle. Farming villages were settled along the border line of the Nile this was one of the contributing factors to arise the civilizations. The farmers took advantage of the Nile valley river to grow wheat and flax. In Sumer they also used the soil to their power which also helped them start civilizations. Egypt is has a better geographical location because they are more protected because of their surroundings.…
Between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, you would find Mesopotamia, which had little to no natural protection. Egypt was created on the Nile river in Africa, protected by a desert to keep out outside invaders. Both cultures were located in a river valley but had different environments. Although the two civilizations are different in the area of environment and geography, nevertheless the two civilizations have significant similarities with regard to society and economics, and science and technology. Mesopotamia and Egypt have different environments and geography.…
A majority of the Egyptians lived near the Nile River because it was the connecting force of all of Egypt.

Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt formed due to cultural and political differences between the two and similarities within the…

Egypt was blessed by being part of the Fertile Crescent around the Nile river, which allowed the Egyptians to grow a wide variety of crops, such as corn, wheat, and barley (Hanna). However, the Egyptian farmers had to work with the annual rise and fall of the Nile. The Egyptians had an ideal regular schedule; in September they would work on and protect dykes. In October the Egyptian farmers would start preparing the fields for planting. By November the Egyptian farmers would begin planting the fields.…
