Question

What do you notice about population distribution and settlement location in Ancient Egypt?List three reasons for this

Answer 1

It is very noticeable that most settlements in Ancient Egypt developed along the Nile River. There are some reasons for this:

1. The Nile overflows its banks every year. This made the land close to the river extremely fertile, so that a large population could develop in the area.
2. The Nile acted like a highway between different regions, enabling trade, communication and cultural exchange to take place.
3. The Nile provided the vital resource of water. Without water, no civilization can develop. It was particularly important in this region, as the area is prone to droughts.

1.Altogether 8 million may have lived in ancient Egypt 
2.Most people lived by the Nile river
3.Population averaged about 750 people per square mile
