Ancient Egyptian production and life style of the Nile River

1. The Nile River floods regularly every year, and although the floods are harmful during the flooding period, it has brought great benefits to the Egyptians, providing excellent conditions for the cultivation of agricultural crops. Every year in June and July, the upper Nile River torrential rainfall, flash floods run down, flooding the lower and middle valleys, in September and October to reach a climax, the end of October, the rainy season past the river recedes. Flooding so that farmland is fully irrigated, the river also upstream of the soil and plant debris entrainment down, leaving a layer of fertile silt after the flood, equal to the farmland generally applied a fertilizer. Ancient Egypt's climate is hot and dry, rainfall is scarce, tools, technology and quite simple, by virtue of the gift of the Nile, but also get a good harvest.

2. Egypt is located in the northeastern part of Africa, part of the great arid region of Africa, where rainfall is scarce all year round and the Nile River becomes the only source of water. As the Nile flooded regularly, the river irrigated the land on both banks, but also to lay a layer of fertile silt on the ground, providing good conditions for agricultural production. After the river receded, the Egyptians relied on collective strength, with crude and simple tools, clearing the thorns and thistles, draining swamps, ditching and damming, constructing water conservancy, and working hard on the fertile land. Ancient Egypt became one of the cradles of the world's ancient civilizations. Herodotus said, "Ancient Egypt was a gift from the Nile." In order to understand the causes and characteristics of the rise of ancient Egyptian civilization, one must first understand the Nile River. One of the world's four major rivers, the Nile is located in northeastern Africa and runs north-south. It originates in Uganda and injects into the Mediterranean Sea through Sudan and Egypt, with a total length of 6,671 kilometers, and the Nile Valley is 3 to 16 kilometers wide. The main stream is called the White Nile, which joins the Blue Nile originating from Ethiopia in Khartoum. This river has two main features: annual flooding and punctual, always in July began to rise, October reached a climax, November must retreat; but the difference in the amount of water is not large, flooding and not a disaster. This gives the ancient Egyptians grasp the laws of the Nile, the use of the Nile River Basin provides favorable conditions. But the Nile River environment is too special, east of the Sinai Desert and west of the Libyan Desert, both sides of the river valley only 15 to 25 kilometers of the watershed, the entire basin is like a ribbon, only the mouth of the river delta is a little wide.
