They could not have grown crops from the fresh wet soil and they couldn't travel along the river as good.

Explanation:  Nile is a river that literally breathes life into ancient Egypt and areas along the river. The Nile River periodically flooded every year at the same time areas near the river valley and deposited sludge from the river on the coast. In this way it soaked the soil with nutrients and minerals, and made the coasts a very fertile soil for the development of agriculture. It was a key factor for the development of Egypt as well as for all civilizations grown in river valleys. The development of agriculture increased wealth and power, agricultural products could be exchanged for other goods, etc. If we know that the ancient (even today's) Egypt in areas not along the Nile coast, consists of deserts, where agriculture is not possible at all. In this sense, if there was no flooding of the Nile, we can assume that the soil configuration would not be the same, but similar to the desert, because it is still close to the river, there would be some oases with greenery due to the proximity of the water. But agriculture would certainly not be possible, because there would be no fertile soil. Life would be similar to that in the deserts, like the Bedouins possessing green oases with water as precious.

What is one negative effect that can come from applying modern values to historical events?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

In literary and historical analysis, presentism is the anachronistic introduction of present-day ideas and perspectives into depictions or interpretations of the past. Modern historians seek to avoid presentism in their work because they consider it a form of cultural bias, and believe it creates a distorted understanding of their subject matter.[1] The practice of presentism is regarded by some as a common fallacy when writing about the past.

Why does the box of dog biscuits make Tom so emotional in great Gatsby ch9?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Because it made him to remember, and feel the loss and pain of Myrtles' death.

Explanation:

Tom describes his feelings to Nick to let him know that he has his own share of the loss. He was reminded of Myrtle, the wife of his mechanic, his symphathetic mistress who was killed by Daisy in a car accident. If Myrtle were to be alive, the box would have not been there.

Earlier before the incident, Tom and Gatsby had exchanged their cars. Daisy alone was driving the car when the accident occurred. But Gatsby tells Nick that Daisy killed Myrtle but he will take the blame.
