The River Nile was important to ancient Egyptians one of the few sources of water in Egypt and without it they either die of dehydration or [ and because crops and animals would die without water ]starvation .
ReplyDeleteThe reason that the River Nile is so important to Egyptians is that they can get food from the River Nile.The River Nile flows to these countries:Uganda,Ethiopia,Sudan,Burundi and Egypt .Egypt is found in the country Africa.The River Nile is really 6,695 kilometers and 4,160 miles long
ReplyDeleteThe River Nile in Egypt is about 6670 km (4160 miles) in length and it is also famous as it is the longest and largest river in the whole of Africa and the entire world. Although it is generally associated with Egypt, only 22%of the river Nile's course runs through all Africa.
ReplyDeleteMost Egyptians lived near the River Nile because it provided water, food and transportation. Once, the Egyptians got scared that the Nile would fail on them and not flood, so they invented some gods and prayed to them. Then came alone some really clever people who came along and said, "Actually, we ARE the gods that you pray too! So feed us well, make us houses and we will look after you." Some time later these people got known as pharaohs.
ReplyDeleteThe River Nile is in fact the longest river in the world and the River Nile flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile has a length of about 6,695 km (aka, 4,160 miles). The Nile basin is really big and also includes parts of Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Congo (Kinshasa) and also Kenya. The name 'Nile' comes from the Greek word “neilos”, and 'neilos' means valley. The Nile River flows north through Egypt and into the Mediterranean Sea. Ancient Egypt was divided into two regions, Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. This looks a bit confusing on a map because Upper Egypt is to the south and Lower Egypt is to the north. And this is because the names come from the flow of the R. Nile.
The cause of the flood each year was heavy rains and melting snow to the south near the source of the Nile. The Ancient Egyptians believed that the flood was caused by the tears of the goddess Isis as she cried for her dead husband Osiris.
Then came along*
DeleteThe River Nile is about 6,695 km in length, plus it is the longest river in Africa and in the world! The river begins in the mountains of Africa, then flows north to the Mediterranean Sea. It was by the banks that one of the oldest civilizations in the world began …the ancient Egyptians.They lived and farmed along the Nile, using the soil to produce food for themselves and their animals.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, ancient Egypt could not have existed without the river Nile. Since rainfall is almost non-existent in Egypt, the floods provided the only source of moisture to sustain crops. Every year, heavy summer rain in the Ethiopian highlands, sent lots of water that overflowed the banks of the Nile. When the floods went down it left rich mud, which was excellent soil to plant seeds in after it had been cultivated. The ancient Egyptians could only grow crops in the mud left behind when the Nile flooded, so they had fields along the River Nile.
The lenth of the river niles approximately is about 6650 km most pepole think it is the longest river nile in the world.the river nile gives water to crops the river nile flows into the meditreanea sea.
ReplyDeleteThe pepole in egypt think that living near the riverbanks is very popular.The nile covers a tenth of Africa without the nile Egypt would be a desert, the nile brings fine fertile silt from the equatorial region of Africato the desert eegyel.
This has made Egypt the ´granary of the acient world.
The River Nile was very important to the ancient Egyptians because this was their only source of water as it rarely rained in Egypt. When it did rain flooding occurred which made the soil surrounding the River Nile rich in nutrients. This helped the Egyptian to live as they planted crops which could feed their families and animals. Their only other way of getting water was to extract cactus juice from the plant in the dessert. In modern day Egypt, the River Nile is mostly used for tourism.
ReplyDeleteThe river Nile is important to the Egyptians because it is a way of transportation,fishing,bath,water and water for crops.
ReplyDeleteAlso Egyptians use a special kind of machine called a Shaduf which digs out water to grow crops.
