The Nile spread around 450 miles in Egypt, and was the main mode of transportation. You could transport obelisks or just go from upper Egypt to lower Egypt. With so many things possible to do on the Nile it is no surprise it helped create many jobs for the Egyptian people. In Document C you see many examples of jobs that relied on the Nile. The illustration by Oliver Frey shows ships carrying obelisks and a tomb.…

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…
Irrigation was the way they got water to their crops it was the only way for farms that weren't on the shore of the Nile to get water to their otherwise dry land.

Settlement distribution is where the people settled across the land.…
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.…

The Egyptians believed that the flooding of the river was on a schedule to provide the soil for their crops. They also believed the gods caused the flooding in the region similar to the Mesopotamians however they felt it was for a positive purpose. The Egyptian society was ruled by a king similar to Mesopotamia’s political structure. The difference in these political structures lies within the way the kings rule the society.

As the civilization grew the Nile River Valley was a civilization that depended mainly on the Nile River to provide food and fertile soil, along with water. Back then people had to work together to control what they called "The annual flood" which brought more water and also brought more soil to the areas. Around 3100 B.C. the king of Upper Egypt, Menes, united the upper and lower part of Egypt. The Nile River helped to make the first unified state. Egypt was once divided into three time periods: The Old Kingdom, The Middle Kingdom, and The New Kingdom.…
The Nile River flows north through Egypt and empties into the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile River acts as a natural highway for travel through Egypt. The Nile also floods annually which provides rich silt deposits that are perfect for farming. Therefore, life in Egypt was built upon the Nile. Egyptians would farm the rich fertile land around the Nile, therefore they would build their homes on the edge of the fertile land in order to leave more room for farming and to compensate for the annual flood waters.…
The anticipated flooding that lasted six months allowed the Egyptians time to move elsewhere until the flood waters went down, revealing the fine silt. If crops were planted as soon as the silt was deposited, they would be ready to harvest before the flood of the next year. The Nile was a crucial landmark in the Egyptian society. It was the source of food, and a way for goods, ideas, and people to be transported. This allowed the Egyptians to be extremely successful farmers.…

This project is about how the people of Egypt dependented on the Nile River during the ancient times for food and minerals. The project will describe that Egypt is a desert and without the Nile river water they will not be able to have water. The project will show that the Nile River gave irrigation and gave transportation to the people of Egypt. The project will also explain how none of the achievements of the remarkable ancient Egyptian civilization would have been possible without the Nile River. Further, the project will show that the Nile River protected the Egyptians from invasion because it kept invaders’ boat out.…
