The Floods of the Nile


The floods of the Nile gave the Egyptians many thing for farming like the dark rich soil that really helped them a lot with their farming production.With the Nile River many advantages like actually predicting when the floods were going to come unlike the Tigris and the Euphrates.Also with the little rain fall most of Egypt was dry and lifeless,but far more South of Egypt it caused the Nile River to flood. The Egyptians would probrably not have grown much in there lands if it weren't for the Nile River cause after the floods it coated the land with black soil and that is why they called it the Black Land.For the Egyptians they considered the Nile River a life -giving miracle and didn't think of it as a crazy,rapid,destroying thing of nature.The Nile River flooding is one of the best gifts of nature that the Egyptians have ever recieved.Without the floods,people could have never farmed in Egypt.
