The Nile River, the very same African river that produced a seemingly unlimited amount of papyrus, apparently also acted as a thoroughfare for imports and exports, including importing papyrus, acacia to other countries, including Israel. The city-port of Heracleion was mentioned by ancient historians. But, until its recent underwater discovery, it was thought to be legend.

The Nile Valley civilization had to conquer many tribulations that could have lead to the decline of power and eventually, the end of the civilization. One of major event that help the civilization thrive, was the yearly flood of the Nile River. By this annual flood occurring, the Egyptians…

Without God, there is no real obligation to hold true to morals. Morals are simply devices that we have adapted to in order to ensure the survival of our species. Craig uses the example of rape, saying that certainly everyone knows that rape is wrong, but without God there is nothing truly wrong with rape, it is simply something that we avoid because it is not beneficial to humankind.

empire to date. Egypt was as old as the Sumerians, but they lasted even longer than the Sumerians. The Egyptians thrived due to the Nile river, which was what kept the Egyptians alive.

Not only was the Nile the longest river and the river that kept the Egyptians alive, it was also a very convenient means of transportation,…

Many cities emerge farmers begun cultivating fertile lands among rivers valleys and producing surplus. Farming was favored in these valleys.

The rivers also had some challenges, farmers had to control the…

1. The flourishing of Egyptian and Nubian societies along the Nile River can be attributed largely to the shift in climate which happened in North Africa during the 6th millennium B.C.E.; the general migration of the Sudanic nomads disseminated itself over time along the Nile Delta, and down the river itself. 2. Until the completion of the Aswan Dam (1968), the Nile always flooded yearly, creating floodplains and leaving alluvial mineral deposits in the downstream soil which made it very…
