Provided Water for the Egyptians which was needed a lot for Egypt’s economy. The Egyptians
used the Nile River to grow crops, highway to go trade, transport things and more. About
600-700 miles of Nile River is actually in the Egypt. Ancient Egypt could not have existed
without the Nile River. Since rainfall is almost non-existent in Egypt, The floods provided the
only source of moisture to Sustain crops. Most Egyptians lived Near the Nile as it provided
water, food, transportation and Excellent soil for growing Food. The Nile flooded the Ancient
Egypt because the Nile flows from South to North. The Nile floods flooded every year between
June and

September. Most of the jobs Depended on Nile River. Because The Nile provided all
these things to the Egyptians, the Egyptians treated Nile as their god.
Most of the job depended on Nile river. Oarsman and sailors, boat builders, sailmakers,
fishermen, farmers and more used Nile river as their highway to sell goods or to transport
things. The Nile river flooded its bank and made a fertile land for the farmers to grow crops. The
Nile river even helped farmers declare the seasons so that they can work on different things like
farming crops, building temples e.t.c.

The nile was the only one source for the farmers to water
their crops. The farmers had to go to the city using the Nile river to transport the crops that they
had grown. The Nile even created a highway or priests to take the mummified bodies of
people to its burial.
Nile attracted people to settle in ancient Egypt. If there was no Nile people would have
chosen to settle in Egypt. Without the Nile ancient Egypt is just a plain land. There would be no
water to drink, grow crops and no way to sail boats. If there was no Nile the Egypt would be in
shortage of food, because Nile flooded every year making the soil fertile. But if there was no
Nile there would be no fertile soil. If there was no Nile, ancient Egypt would not have existed.

Egypt. They had a spiritual relationship with Nile a well ad a practical, everyday connection to it.
