6. Why was the Nile River so important to the Ancient Egyptians?
When the floods went down it left thick rich mud (black silt) which was excellent
soil to plant seeds in after it had been ploughed. The ancient Egyptians could
grow crops only in the mud left behind when the Nile flooded. So they all had
fields all along the River Nile.

7. When did the Nile flood?
The River Nile flooded every year between June and September, in a season the
Egyptians called akhet - the inundation.
Why did the Nile Flood?
Melting snow and heavy summer rain in the Ethiopian Mountains sent a torrent of
water causing the banks of the River Nile in Egypt to overflow on the flat desert
land.
Why does the Nile not flood now?
The construction of the Aswan Dam in the 1960's meant that from 1970 the annual
flood was controlled.

8. Egyption Seasons
The three seasons observed in
ancient Egypt were Akhet, Peret
and Shemu. The seasons were
associated with the three phases
