How did geography impact the ancient Egyptians?The Nile
river produces silt which is produced by
floods of the Nile. The silt is used for farming and without it we, the
Egyptians wouldn’t be able to survive. This teaches us the importance of the Nile. (Spielvogel)
How did the geography of ancient Egypt help agriculture develop?The geography of ancient Egypt is helping agriculture develop because the Nile River is a helpful and resourceful element. The Nile gives our people a chance to develop an irrigation system. An irrigation system leads the path to systematic agriculture, which is happening right now. (Spielvogel)
Why was the Nile River important to the ancient Egyptians?The Nile River is important to us because it helps all life sources learn to thrive. For example, the Nile produces silt that helps us farm and ultimately, survive. Without the Nile we, the Egyptians wouldn't survive.
How were the Egyptians protected by their physical environment?We, the Egyptians are very protected by our physical environment. Enemy armies would have had to travel long distances through deserts like the Sahara or Libyan or via boat over oceans such as the Mediterranean or Red Sea to enter Egypt. Basically, from all directions, enemies would have had to overcome significant geographical borders to reach our society.
How did the flooding of the Nile affect the ancient Egyptians?Without the flooding of the Nile, we would die because the silt that the Nile gives off helps everyone grow food. The silt provides a rich fertile land that helps us grow food.
