A second gift from the Nile is water in document 6 it says “these women are watering their livestock and doing laundry” this shows that the Nile water help them for many things that now have help improved the New Egypt we know the water form the Nile have help the new Egypt improved by now having washings machines were they could wash their clothes with the water from the Nile and its easier for them because now they don’t have to go wash their clothes by the river ,that’s how the water of the Nile have help improved the Egypt we know today. Another gift from the Nile to ancient Egypt is that the land was so fertilize that it helps the ancient Egyptians grow food such as vegetables, fruits and grains, in document 7 it says “the Nile provided fresh crops so they could eat , that have help Egypt to but by a different way now for new Egypt is easier they have to waits months or weeks they would wait for the crops month that is when crops grow they would take all the food they need until the next crop season comes so it’s easier for New Egypt than it was for ancient Egypt, it have help improved Egypt because know people sell the food and they could earn money selling the food and people would buy them so they don’t have to go grow corps by their own so it would be
I believe ancient Egypt was “the gift of the Nile River” because of its location in the Sahara desert, and because of its dry location. The river provided water and soil which irrigated the Nile Delta. All farmers knew when it would flood, and prepare their fields. Ancient Egypt had very little contact with surrounding civilization for many centuries because of isolation. This kept foreign ideas and influences from disrupting their cultural balance and they were free of foreign invasion through most of their history.
Did you know that the name Nile comes from the Greek name “neilios, which means valley, Not only that but also it provided many resources to the Egyptians, As a result of the Nile river it gave them a fertile farmland, food, crops, and water, they are transportation, the calendar, and irrigation and last but not least without the Nile River giving it restocks it wouldn’t be the best it can be. An important part of Egypt was its irrigation, In the document, b says that Egypt is very low on rain, so the Egyptians always relied on the Nile River the reason why is because to have fertile land, and for them to also drink. in document b, it also says that the rain was not enough to even was not enough to water the crops even in the Nile Delta
How the Nile Shaped Ancient Egypt We have water every day. For the Egyptians, however, the Nile River, their water source, meant the difference between life and death. Ancient Egypt was a very successful civilization, most famous for its pyramids, a huge structure shaped like a triangular prism that was used as tombs for their leaders, and mummies, which were bandaged corpses. Mummification was used to preserve dead bodies, and the way the Egyptians did it was ingenious for their time. It also took some serious thought and hard work to build a pyramid.
Agriculture was the backbone of Ancient Egypt, shaping its economy, allowing for more job positions and specialization. It also made the presence of trade more viable in the ancient Egyptian society by allowing the Egyptians to coast up and down the River with the goods they were going to trade (doc C). Without the Nile, they never would have been able to trade as easily as they could with the Nile (doc A). The Nile also allowed for less complex irrigation as the Egyptians had been able to determine the flood patterns because the Nile River was more predictable. The Nile also allowed to the Egyptians to produce a surplus of food, creating a surplus of food. This began the beginning of the move from subsistence agriculture, changing and reshaping the way the Egyptians had previously
The Nile is essential to the people of Ancient Egypt because of its location, settlement, economy, and religious beliefs. The Nile River greatly impacted the lives of Ancient Egyptians, shaping their civilization on where they live. Most of Egypt was a barren desert, so the inhabitants clustered around water sources to survive. In Document B, the map of the Nile gave the Egyptians a sense of protection from outside invaders. The way the river flows, from south to north, creates two distinct areas:
When you think of college athletes you often don't think about them getting paid. College athletes and whether or not they should get paid is a hotly debated topic that is likely not to end any time soon. It has gone on for many many years and no conclusion can be seen in the near future for the vigorously debated topic. The debate really picked up again when Kevin Ware suffered a compound fracture to his right leg which stuck several inches out of his shin. Injuries like this one often time end careers that have not even begun. It is sad to see young players get hurt and never be able to continue their career. It is also very unfortunate when players get hurt and their careers end before they have taken off. Every player in college basketball wants to walk of the court winning a national championship, but most can’t walk off the floor at the end of their career with the confetti flying from the ceiling and the stadium videoboard playing their picture to all their fans. Although most athletes can’t win a national championship to end their career some athletes don't even have a chance at that dream. VCU’s senior guard Briante Weber tore a knee ligament in a game that ended his college career. Unfortunately he won’t get the chance to play for VCU on his senior night, or to play in the NCAA Tournament. Weber was going to be
Egypt’s geography is very interesting. The Egyptians have mountains to the south of them and they also have two deserts to the east and west of them. The Nile River is used as another boarder, as a port, is full of fish and other good things to eat, and to irrigate crops. The Nile left rich soil for crops after it flooded when the snow melted. The nile not only produced food but papyrus as well. Papyrus was used to make many things.
To begin, in ancient Egypt there were two major ways that the Nile helped shape ancient Egypt. Those two ways are: it changed the geography of Egypt and it helped the economy. First, the way the Nile helped shape ancient Egypt is the geography. As it said in the background essay, irrigation channels from the Nile flowed to smaller gardens where farmers grew vegetables. Date, fig, and pomegranate trees were tended along the river.
Without water nothing can live, as well as, the Egyptians needed food. The Nile is what let the plants grow that the Egyptians ate. Also it provided fertile land that the plants need to grow. 95% of the population were farmers so if the Nile weren’t there 95% of the people would lose there job. There is a lot of reasons that the Nile is very important in
Lastly, the Nile River allowed the Egyptians to form a booming economy with art, music, and religion. The Nile River provided Ancient Egypt with all of the basic necessities for life. For example, the Nile provided Ancient Egypt with fresh drinking water and fertile soil and fish for food. This allowed Egyptians to focus on other luxuries like the Pyramids or art and music. This then led to an economy forming with a social structure. Moreover, in Document B, once Akhet and Peret passed, Shemu, harvest season, came and allowed the Egyptians to harvest the crops they planted during Peret and were able to take them to the market to be sold. This added to the booming economy being formed in Egypt due to the Nile providing the basic
The Nile shaped ancient Egypt being the most important part of Egypt. The things that the Nile has giving ancient Egypt was the Flooding Cycle, The Way They Use the Nile, And Things the Nile Have to Offer to the Egyptian is what the prize of the Nile is. The Background of the Nile is that it’s one of the oldest rivers and the longest river in the world. The Nile River is still alive and the river is about 6,650 kilometers long. The Nile River has flood Problems because they don’t have fresh water to grow crops.
How did the Nile Shape Ancient Egypt? The Nile was very important to the Egyptians. The Nile provided food, water, and transportation, without the Nile, Egypt would not exist. The Nile shaped Egypt to do many things. The Nile provided resources.
The Nile shaped Ancient Egypt by being a source of: Transportation, agriculture, god believes, and a good source of food. The Nile created a life style for Ancient Egyptians. Also the Nile was a great source of transportation and agriculture. The Nile apparently was the super highway of Ancient Egypt.
The developing and prosperous culture that prolonged Egypt was supported on the yearly overspill of the river 's floodwaters. The yearly increase and decrease of the Nile River’s water levels is directly responsible for the development of the Old Kingdom. The Nile served not only as a source of food, but of water. When it overflowed it provided them with rich silt that was perfect for agriculture, which provided them with a surplus of food.
The Nile River was the life force of ancient Egypt. People from all over the region immigrated to the area for its irrigation waters and rich silt deposits. The geography of the region played a huge role in the way the inhabitants and civilization in general was formed. The main core of Egypt covered 386, 560 square miles, of which only 11, 720 were cultivable (Tignor et al., Worlds Together, 62). The Nile differed itself specifically from the Tigris and Euphrates in that its waters did not irrigate or fertilize nearly as well but it did create green belts along the water. This created a society that flourished along the river. The Nile unlike Mesopotamia did not have a bountiful borderland but did have a desert rich in materials. The Niles predictability as the source of life and abundance shaped the character of the people and their culture. (Tignor et al., Worlds Together, 63). The Nile was peaceful and calm unlike the vicious Tigris And Euphrates Rivers. Egypt with its natural borders, which included the Mediterranean Sea, Deserts, and Large Waterfalls, was very isolated. This helped to achieve
