Question

In what ways was the Nile River reliable? How did the geography of ancient Egypt support settlement and early civilizations?

Answer 1

Egyptian civilization developed along the Nile River in large part because the river's annual flooding ensured reliable, rich soil for growing crops.

There is tens of thousands of years' worth of historical evidence of human presence in Egypt. In search of dependable water sources, human civilization's development into the Sahara drove people closer to the Nile River. The majority of settlement in the Nile Valley was restricted to an area just a few miles from the river itself, with the exception of the delta zone where the river expands out as it goes into the sea.

Because of how frequently the Nile River flooded, the ancient Egyptians based their three seasons—inundation (flooding), growth, and harvest—around it. Due to the fact that it consistently deposited a fresh layer of nutrient-rich soil, this annual flooding was essential to agriculture.
