Of Gods And Men: Egypt's Old Kingdom

Satisfactory Essays

Today’s society doesn’t take care of or prolong its resources. The people of America waste their resources without taking notice of how valuable they are. Egypt used its resources in order to help its civilization grow. Egypt’s major resource was the Nile River. “The Nile, the longest river in the world, literally defines the country of Egypt…95 percent of the population has lived in the Nile valley and delta.”[i] Where the water was near, the soil was fertile, which meant that the crops were flourishing, and the people could survive with an abundance of food.
