<span>The first settlements in the Nile Valley began around
7,000 years ago. Hunters and gatherers moved to the Nile Valley from
less fertile areas in Africa and southwest Asia. As in other parts of
the world, these settlements gradually developed into more and more
complex societies. Most Egyptians lived near the Nile as it provided water, food, transportation and excellent, fertile soil
for growing food. Ancient Egypt could not have existed without the
river Nile. Since rainfall is almost non-existent in Egypt, the floods
provided the only source of moisture to sustain crops.
I hope this helps.

The most traumatic era in the entire history of Roman Catholicism, some have argued, was the period from the middle of the 14th century to the middle of the 16th. This was the time when Protestantism, through its definitive break with Roman Catholicism, arose to take its place on the Christian map. It was also the period during which the Roman Catholic Church, as an entity distinct from other “branches” of Christendom, even of Western Christendom, came into being.
The spectre of many national churches supplanting a unitary Catholic church became a grim reality during the age of the Reformation. What neither heresy nor schism had been able to do before—divide Western Christendom permanently and irreversibly—was done by a movement that confessed a loyalty to the orthodox creeds of Christendom and professed an abhorrence for schism. By the time the Reformation was over, a number of new Christian churches had emerged and the Roman Catholic Church had come to define its place in the new order.
