Geography of Egypt
Essential question: How did the geography of Ancient Egypt influence life in the region.
Answer: The Nile River made Egyptians able to stay alive in the harsh desert of Egypt and get the natural resources it provides. Also it provided good farming for the Egyptians.
The Geography of Ancient Egypt affected the Egyptians by protecting them from nearby attackers because how harsh the desert land is that surrounds Egypt which makes it difficult to go through. Also the Nile river provides the fertile land for the Egyptians to farm on and provides the community with surpluses to make the community thrive.
The geography of ancient Egypt helped agriculture develop because since agriculture depended on the position of natural resources. The Nile River is a source of water for irrigation canals. That means the farmers must live near the river to work. Also, the Nile River, a part of the geography, was a source for an irrigation canal. Irrigation systems watered the crops. This helped develop the agriculture in ancient Egypt by making advances in the technology.
The Nile river was important to the Egyptians
because it provided them with the resources they needed to survive. Also the Nile river protected them from river attackers the crazy cataracts made it almost impossible to stay afloat in the crazy waters of the Nile river. Another reason the Nile river was so important to the Ancient Egyptians was because it provided good silt for farming and kept the people alive with the drinking water. The Egyptians were protected by their physical
environment because to the east and west of Egypt the dry barren landscape protected them of attackers that were to come in by land. So, because of how harsh the environment was around them the attackers would have to come by boat which would be difficult because of all the dangerous cataracts that lurked in the river. The annual flooding of the Nile river was good and bad for the people first of all the river could sweep away houses and livestock that lived along the rivers banks. But the good to all of this was that silt (Earthy matter, fine sand, or the like carried by
moving or running water and deposited as a sediment.)was left when the water came down which made farmers more likely to grow better, and finer crops in the next farming season. Source: I primarily got my information from: Ancient Egypt 101
