💡 Key Idea

Egypt Was the Gift of the Nile

Without one river, Egypt would be empty desert.

Most of Egypt is desert with little or no rainfall. The River Nile flows north for 7000 kilometres through the whole country, and its yearly floods left behind a thick layer of mud that made the land fertile.

↳ The Nile's fertile soil turned a desert into one of the ancient world's greatest civilisations.

📖 Definition

Key Words: Fertile, Tax, Pharaoh

Three words unlock the whole chapter.

↳ Fertile land produced food, food was taxed, and the pharaoh controlled both.

⭐ Important Fact

Egypt's Neighbours: Two Seas, One River

Egypt sits between two famous seas.

↳ Egypt's geography — two seas and one great river — shaped its trade and settlement.
