1. The Nile River
The Nile River has many important
features. It is the second longest
river in the world. Every year, the
Nile River flooded in the summer.
It left a lot of good soil for farming.
The endpoints of the river are the
Mediterranean Sea, the Ethiopian
highlands, and Lake Victoria. The
Ancient Egyptians needed the Nile
to survive.
The Nile River supported civilization
in Ancient Egypt. It protected the
ancient Egyptians from invaders. Also,
it was the only fresh water source for
the Ancient Egyptians. Lastly, the Nile
River provided the ancient Egyptians
with diverse animal life such as: fish,
birds, and farm animals like cattle.
Without the Nile, the ancient Egyptian
could not have survived the desert
climate.
