ANCIENT HISTORY THE GEOGRAPHY OF EGYPT back The geography of Egypt is deeply important in understanding why the Egyptians centered their lives around the Nile. Both before and during the use of canal irrigation in Egypt, the Nile Valley could be separated into two parts, the River Basin or the flat alluvial (or black land soil), and the Red Land or red desert land. The River basin of the Nile was in sharp contrast to the rest of the land of Egypt and was rich with wild life and water fowl, depending on the waxing and waning cycles of the Nile. In contrast, the red desert was a flat dry area which was devoid of most life and water, regardless of any seasonal cycle. The Nile in it's natural state goes through periods of inundation and relinquishment. The inundation of the Nile-a slightly unpredictable event- was the time of greatest fertility for Egypt. As the banks rose, the water would fill the man-made canals and canal basins and would water the crops for the coming year. However, if the inundation was even twenty inches above or below normal, it could have massive consequences upon the Egyptian agricultural economy. Even with this variability, the Egyptians were able to easily grow tree crops and vegetable gardens in the lower part of the Nile Valley, while at higher elevations, usually near levees, the Nile Valley was sparsely planted. Agricultural crops were not the mainstay of the ancient Egyptian diet. Rather, the Nile supplied a constant influx of fish which were cultivated year around. In addition to fish, water fowl and cattle were also kept by the Egyptians. Flocks of geese were raised from the earliest times and supplied eggs, meat and fat. However, the domestic fowl didn't make its appearance until Ramesside times, and then in only very isolated places. The Egyptian farmers, in their early experimental phase, also tried to domesticate other animals such as hyenas, gazelles and cranes but gave up after the Old Kingdom. Cattle were also part of the staple diet of the Egyptians, suggesting that grazing land was available for the Egyptians during the times when the Nile receded. However, during the inundation, cattle were brought to the higher levels of the flood plain area and were often fed the grains harvested from the previous year.

Why Egypt was able to protect itself. Print out these worksheets for the power point presentation. These are the notes, and now you have a place to write down the oral materials. Geography Power Point Pages North: To the north was the Mediterranean Sea. Egypt emerged as a civilization really, really early, around 3500 B.C. Europe and the Middle East was no where near being civilized at this time. Because of this, the Mediterranean Sea was basically a vast natural border that no one could cross. Egypt never had to worry about anybody attacking from the sea because no one had the ability to cross it. Their ships could not transport soldiers. As a matter of fact, outside of Egypt, no one knew about Egypt. Having a natural border like a sea or an ocean, which is not the case here, is a tremendous advantage. The sea is flat, there is no hiding out there. So, lookouts could see for miles upon miles. Even if an invader wished to attack from the sea, the time period it would take to land would be enough time for the Egyptians to prepare and defend themselves. The most difficult military tactic, even today, is the amphibious landing. Landing from the sea to the land is something armies today try to avoid because of the casualties they would encounter. First of all, there is no retreat. Secondly, running in sand makes you slower, therefore, the attackers would be easy targets. Lastly, the Egyptians in this case would be able to prepare heavy barriers and traps to stop and slow down the enemy even more.

Geography of Ancient Egypt The country of Egypt is located in the north eastern region of Africa. It is bordered on the north by the Mediterranean Sea. In the south there is a mountain range which receives snow. The climate of Egypt is dry and arid because the Sahara Desert crosses it. One of the major geographical features of this area is the Nile River, which runs northward toward the Mediterranean Sea. One of the most important features of the Nile is that it makes a 320 km (200 miles) bend in the Sahara Desert. This feature has long puzzled geographers because most rivers would go straight to the sea, instead it travels through one of the driest places on Earth bringing life-giving water. Recently, scientists have found evidence that supports the bend was caused by tectonic activity somewhere between 10,000 and a million years ago. The Nile is fed by two rivers, the Blue Nile and the White Nile, which is the reason for it not drying during the dry seasons. At one time there were about six such tributaries feeding it, however these eventually dried out due to slow water with silt accumulation. Every year the Nile flooded because the snow in the mountains melted and brought nutrients in the form of silt. This silt was left once the river floods receded, leaving moist fertile soil for plants to grow. The ancient Egyptians used the floods for horticultural and domestic use.

Home Listings Page Teachers Notes River Flooding What is the impact on people and places? It may seem hard to believe that a small, slow-flowing stream or gentle river could cause serious damage to people and the places in which they live and work, but looks can be deceptive! People love to live near to rivers - in the past mainly for food, water, transport and protection. Even today people enjoy the peace and tranquility flowing water can offer. Flooding can turn even the most harmless looking watercourse into a raging torrent of large-scale destruction - buildings may prove no obstacle to its power; food crops may be ruined leading to food shortages and even starvation; peoples lives may be lost through drowning disease and homelessness. Rivers can be things of beauty and the historic lifeblood of a settlement. Begin to find out how man uses flowing water to enhance life and living, whilst trying to contain its destructive powers when in flood, using the enquiry resources of the Internet!
